Royal Oaks Elementary School

Posted September 30, 2009

We are new to Royal Oaks this year. Our son has always gone to a very small private school. We decided to enter the public school system this year due to our financial situation. We have been so pleasantly surprised by this school and staff. The principal, Mrs. Kolodinski, is very accessable. She is always walking around the campus and participating in all the different activities around the school. Mind Institue is a fascinating concept and all the extra curricular classes are great! Although it is early in the year, it seems that everytime we go to a meeting or school function, we walk away with an even better impression of Royal Oaks Elementary School.

My daughter has been attending RO for 3 years and we love it. We really like all the in school extra programs the school offers-mind institute(teaches students to play the piano and use the computer to develop critical thinking skills), and CGI(teaches math in a fun and interactive way). My daughter also loves all the afterschool programs such as chess club, Spanish, kids theatre, science and art in starting this year. The staff has high standards for academics and behavior. I love having a dress code. The kids can focus on learning and not what everyone's wearing. I would like to see the schools technology updated and I will be talking to the new principal and the PTA to see what we can do to make that happen this year. More parents in our community should take a look at the curriculum and all the school has to offer.

This is our first year at Royal Oaks and we love it! The teachers and Principal are fantastic. We appreciate the high standards across the board - academics, discipline and 'the dress code'. Royal Oaks is the safe and challenging environment needed to produce successful students and adults. We are THANKFUL for all they do for our children.

I will have to agree with most of the reviews here. It's such a disappointment to know that the school is a great one but has a not so pleasant principal. My own experience has been of a single mom doing my BEST with both my children. They are at the top of their class yet the principal overlooks at that and harrasses me if my kids are just a few minutes late, she even went on to tell them personally that they had the worst tardies record, I was furious, not only was this not true but she had no right to make my children feel awful. I'm glad this is going to be their last year there. p.s. my kids can't wait to change schools.
