Rolling Hills Elementary School

Posted January 30, 2008

This school is wonderful! The 'specials' (music, gym, computer, assets and art) the kids are envolved in daily are exceptional....especially assets. As to the parent who wrote a negative on having 3 principals in 3 years. The first one retired (I believe that should be ok to do). The second one that left was a Vice Principal that moved onto another school to become a Principal (I believe that should be acceptable too). The last principal the writer is speaking about is currently in her second year at Rolling Hills and is doing a great job. I have seen many great changes due in part to her coming to the school. The parent who wrote a negative about 1st graders doing research papers...what's wrong with challenging a 1st grader on a 1st grader level. As far as physical activity...the children have 2 recesses daily, plus gym class when it's their week.

1st graders at Rolling Hills are required to do research papers. Physical activity has virtually no place in this school.

I have quite a different opinion from the other writers, unfortunately. I wish I had their view. I have experience 3 principals in 3 years. Not a great track record. The teachers surely perform and their test results prove it. Sadly, I have removed both of my children from this school into a charter school. They are so worried about their scores that I almost feel like they would rather you leave. Please check this school out further if your child isn't an academic sponge. It would be worth it to find out ahead of time that your child won't fit.
