Roth Elementary School

Posted October 4, 2008

I have had children going to Roth for 4 years now and overall it is a great school. I have been very blessed to have wonderful teachers for all three of my children. The assistant principal is absolutely wonderful. She is very hands on with the children and extremely helpful resolving any issues. The one thing that disheartens me time and time again is to see how the lunchroom is dealt with. Several of the people 'helping' the children have horrible attitudes and act like drill sergeants. I know moms that choose not to have lunch with their children because of witnessing it. I can understand that a cafeteria full of children can be overwhelming but there is NO excuse for being so rude to children. I have had lunch with nieces/nephews at surrounding Elementary schools and the lunch atmosphere is extremely different than at Roth. Please work on improving.

Am I the only one who finds the staff at Roth stand-offish? Most prior comments are very positive, but my experiences have been largely negative. The school counselor is excellent, but most of the rest of the staff seems miserable, and they never seem pleased when a parent takes an interest in his child's education. A maddening characteristic -- teaching at the learning rate of the slowest students. The district can do far better. Also, they need to stop the near-continuous fund raising. Trim the bloated district administration and there will be enough money to run the schools.

We have been thrilled with Roth Elementary. The teachers and staff are friendly and caring for the kids. Mrs. Dristas the principal genuinly cares about the children having a great learning atmosphere as well as fun with music and art. The coachs are wonderful caring teachers. The parents seem to really care about the school and its students.

Both of my children have attended Roth and Im happy to say that they are finished. The principal, asst. principal and teacher turnover rates are huge and the parents are expected to do most of the teaching, since the students and teachers are so overwhelmed with expectations from Klein School District. The teachers freely use cell phones during school hours and surf the internet on a regular basis. Roth doesn't offer computer classes to prepare the students for junior high expectations. There is not a playground for kids over 1st grade, so they have recess on the concrete parking lot. Where does our tax money go?
