Root is the best school in fayetteville,AR because of how they teach. Their test scores are wonderful every year and their principal is awesome. Though they do have a overcrowded problem because its such a great school!!!!
Even if you live in the Root district your child may not be attending Root School. They have a serious overcrowding problem. It is not unusual for parents to learn a day or two before or even after the start of school that there is no room for their child who is now considered 'overflow' and placed on a waiting list. Overflow children are transferred to another school, yet can be 'called back' to Root at any time, even months into the school year. Last year, we had one child left in Root and drove the other to a different school. This year, both must be bussed to a school across town. It is a bad situation made worse by a subjective policy and lack of administrative directive.
Parent committees work on virtually every aspect of the school. There is a parent's advisory council that serves as a liason to the teachers and staff. Parent volunteers are there every day doing things for teachers so that teachers can focus on teaching kids. Parents organize the kids' parties, help with extracurricular activities, and have representatives helping design the new gym. It's hard to imagine parents getting more involved in the school on a day-to-day basis.
