I had a terrible experience when I went to Rotolo, formerly Batavia Middle School. The people I went to school with were awful, judgmental, status-oriented, and just plain mean--and I was the brunt of it. The teachers? Some were laughable, others were okay. There was a definite lack of structure and challenge in a lot of my classes, which I needed as a pre-teen. I'm surprised that I even got into Rosary, because I was severely lacking in my writing, analytical, mathematical, and scientific skills. Honestly, Rosary helped me more than BMS--excuse me--RMS ever did.
Rotolo has helped alot understanding my toughest subjects in school, Math and science. I love my Advisroy teacher Mrs. Geisen and my Lit. and Social Studies teacher, Mrs. S. I think it's great having gym every day, it 's really good for you . I have lots of friends, and if one happens to be mean to me, i can always talk it out to our really nice 6th Grade consilor , Mrs. Neice. I think Rotlo is a great place for a 6th Grader to go to, after school activities are fun and educational.
This is my daughter's first year at Rotolo. She's a sensitive kid, but she loves the school and had zero problems adjusting. Rotolo does a good job of keeping 6th graders separated from the older kids.Teachers seem mostly satisfactory and the new principal seems involved, qualified and approachable. Still getting to know teachers, but it seems to be a parent consensus that Mr. Meyers is really an exceptional drama teacher (above and beyond, with a great personality) and every kid, including mine seems to love that class--even if they aren't into drama. Math is going well and science/history with Miss Statler is a favorite. She's truly nice to the kids, connects with them and has great educational pets in-room like cool lizards. One bummer is the health class.
My son was having trouble in a couple of his classes last year and it was tough for him until this year that Mr. O'Reily has had him in his class and let me tell my son has become more responsible and of an organizer and Mr. O'Reily has taken the time help in all of the areas he has needed and his grades have changed drastically for the better. I am very happy Sam Rotollo school
