If I could give negative stars I would. The front office is horrible. Stay away from this school.

My sisters go to this school currently. I did not go to this school. But when I ask them about their day, their faces light up and they go on and on about how good it was. O’Roarke seems to be an amazing school with amazing teachers.

O'Roarke is an incredible public school. Every teacher our children has had have gone above and beyond.

This elementary school is wonderful. Engagement from students and parents is high. Both of our daughters went here and we consider it a huge perk of living in this area, to have been zoned for O'ROARKE!

I am writing these comments as of March 2019. I have worked at various schools in the Clark County School district. In my opinion, the principal, Kody Barto, is one of the most un-approachable, least friendly, and least professional principals I have ever worked with. He appears to look for reasons to find fault with your performance as a teacher's rather than looking for opportunities to give you positive feedback. He does not provide support to teachers when they are dealing with disrespectful students. I have never seen him smile.

In my opinion, there are individual teachers and staff at this school who are helpful and professional, but this is overshadowed by the unprofessional and cold demeanor of the principal, Kody Barto.

Each teacher we have had has been phenomenal. They truly care about the students and their progress

Posted: September 13, 2018

They preach kindness to everyone everyday and it shows

Principal Barto and principal Orvedal are amazing and down to earth leaders

My daughter is in a peer program that is based solely off of learning differences

My boys went from CP Squires, to Betsy Rhodes, and finally O'Roare ESPN.

CP Squires was by far a better school than Betsy Rhodes but O'Roarke...O"Roarke is an outstanding school that all parents with kids in public schools can only dream to be zoned for. The teachers and staff are sincere, genuine, loving, caring, and devoted individuals. The school has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I'm so blessed to have my children in this school. I've heard this school referred to as a hidden gem...and it's true. The kids here actually WANT to go to school...and for me with the experience of two other elementary schools under our belts this is amazing...my kids actually achieved perfect attendance awards ... this school is just amazing...

Great Teachers and Staff. The $300 monthly fee for all day kinder sucks but it's a great school.

This is the best Elementary school in Clark County. The teachers, and administration are a bunch of dedicated people. They thrive for the success of your children. Educating on a caring level daily should be the mantra for this school. Both of my boys Joshua, and Cayden attend this school. May you find this school as wonderful as I did. All the best on the journey of your child or children education.

My children love this school and are excelling here! Caring teachers and staff and great after school programs. My children love going to music and art class! The school seems to really care about kids.

Awesome school!! This elementary school has ALOT to offer both during school and after. Teachers are excellent! There is a tremendous feeling of school spirit and pride. Strong principal leadership. My oldest has been here ever since it opened and now my youngest has started, both children love it there!!

Overall this school is AVERAGE at best. Through other parents, I hear, FOR LAS VEGAS, this is supposedly a great school. My kids have been to other schools out of state -- GREAT SCHOOLS with GREAT cirriculums and this isn't a great school. I am very well educated and so is my husband and I want people to know this is not a school that you will be completely happy with. The administration will not listen to parents-- especially about cirriculum, (or the lack there of); nor does the administration (Prin./V.P) know anything about what's going on in ANY of the classes. Yes, there are definitely a few GREAT TEACHERS, actually, FANTASTIC teachers and hopefully, you will get one of them. And YES, almost every teacher at this school has a masters, which doesn't prove to me that they are better TEACHERS, it means they are paid more money, after all, that's why we get our masters. Check out a few other schools before Buying Your House in this zone, you may LOVE that house, but you will NOT love this school!!!

My kids love the school. The teachers are strong and care about the kids. The school offers lots of after-school activities like football, cheerleading, tennis, choir, student council, math olympiad, chess and science. One of the best.

The school is set up for rotating classes like in middle school or high school. Problem is the kids stand in line all DAY eating up valuable learning time. The 5th grade staff are friends & if your child has a personality it is frowned upon. The writing teacher didn't teach writing. There is very little or no contact if there is a problem with grades or any issue really. If you have to put your kid here GOODLUCK...WORST ELEMENTARY EVER!

Wonderful school and staff! Teachers are good and seem to care about the students. My child loves the school!
