Rolling Hills is a wonderful, small and safe school! The school employs the Harbor Method of teaching which ensures that the children feel safe and supported so they can learn at extremely high levels. I attended a school meeting where a representative of the Idaho Department of Education said that

Our children love the school and so do we! Read less

It is the best school because there is never any bullying and we wear uniforms so I am never looking around the room disrated or worrying about the latest fashion. The teachers are also wonderful helping you whenever you have a problem they are always kind and patine to.

There is a great group of dedicated and caring parents who are willing to work hard to restore the school's good name and great academic practices, but a lot of damage has been done this year.

Most unfriendly school I have ever stepped into in my life. Definite division between teachers and administrator and I believe the teachers have the upper hand in this one. Many classes are not teaching true 'Harbor' method because teachers were not trained. The ones that are trained in Harbor are

School board needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Charter schools are supposed to react to parental concerns, not quash them. Teachers should be inspired not intimidated. SB can only deny problems so long. Once the kids and teachers are gone, school is toast.
