Rolling Hills Middle School

Posted May 21, 2009

Three of my children went through this school. This high performance public school operates more like a premier academy. They need more art (not technique but critical thinking) classes - then again - they are teaching to the API tests and getting great results. Middle school is all about transition from elementary to high school. This is a birthing process - usually more painful for the parent than the child. Believe me - the children come out happy, healthy, and ready for high school. The parents? If you hear wailing and screaming - its usually because someone's 'perfect all the way through elementary' miscreant just hit puberty and the school is getting blamed for his or her misbehavior. Other criticisms, 'they are too strict,' they are taking home too much homework,' or 'my child did not make advanced this or that.' Yawn... Five stars!

I have two kids at this school, one in 5th grade and one in 8th. This was our first time at this school because we moved here last year. Both kids love this school. Their teachers send out an email daily with a summary of homework. We can access their grades any time online. Strong parent involvement. My 5th grader takes math with 6th graders, because he took a test and was ready for it. The band program is amazing.

My daughter is just finishing up as a 6th grader at Rolling Hills. This has been her best school year so far. She loves and respects her teachers and the administration. This equals a good attitude about school and awesome grades. I would highly recommend Rolling Hills. I should also credit Oak Meadow Elementary for giving her a great foundation for middle school and beyond.
