Rocky River Elementary School

Posted September 21, 2008

Rocky River is a very good school. My child is performing well above average. I am pleased that the teachers he has had have broken students up into groups based on their performance and taught each group at their level instead of teaching all students at the level of the lower performing students. However, I am concerned with the ever growing immigrant population and what effect that could have on the school's curriculum. I give this shool an 'A-'.

I am very dissapointed in this school thus far. My daughter transfered from Weddington where she was doing great, and then we come to Rocky River and it has become very apparent to me that this school does not want to communicate. I have tried to reach the principal with regards to the picking up your child policy and she has yet to return my call. The staff really does not know how to communicate with parents. I am blown away that the prinicpal does not check her messages every day what kind of principal does not check her messages. I was told this by an office staff member that if she checks her messages she will get back to me. This school needs to learn to communicate so the kids are not stressed out about simple things at school.

This is our first year at Rocky River and I can't even express how disappointed I am in this school. The principle has very little involvement and lacks communication skills, as do all the assistant principles and office staff. The things that occur in this school are unacceptable and no one seems to be concerned. I've been blown away at how far the staff at Rocky River will go to back each other up instead of admitting mistakes and looking for the Child's Best Interest. I completely regret moving into Rocky River's boundaries. The Only good I have is that I think my children have good teachers. But the teachers alone don't make a school a good one. The leadership is in need of massive repair in all areas. The most recent test scores are an embarrassment. I am hoping a reassignment is possible for next year.
