Robert H Rockenbaugh Elementary School

Posted June 24, 2009

We moved into the district last year. I have to say I love Rockenbaugh! My daughter's second grade teacher was superb. The administration is wonderful. I volunteered often and always felt welcome. Karen White is an amazing Principal. I remember one day I was filing some books for my daughter's teacher in the hallway. Mrs. White approached me and told me how much she enjoyed my daughters report on the Seal (my daughter had a presentation in Quest earlier that day). She explained the points she found especially fascinating. Also, the art, music, and science classes are all taught by top-notch passionate teachers. You can tell they love what they do!

My child attended Rockenbaugh for 5 years and loved it. It is warm, nurturing and very loving. The only concern that I have about the school is that the Vice Principal does not know how to deal with parents or difficult situations. She approaches parents and students with military style. The principal is wonderful! Overall, we loved Rockengbaugh and the teachers and would highly recommend it.

Parent involvement is exceptonal. The principal and vice-principal are first rate and hands on. Reading/Math/Writing are focused on starting in Kindergarten and you will find that if you have a concern, if will be addressed. I'm am extremely pleased and will be very sad if we ever need to move. I even sub there being a teacher myself.

I compared Rockenbaugh's 2007 commended rates (Reading/Math/Writing) to all four elementary schools in the Highland Park ISD and was surprised to see they were higher. I doubt there is a elementary school in the entire State that scores higher.
