I had a terrible experience when I went to Rotolo, formerly Batavia Middle School. The people I went to school with were awful, judgmental, status-oriented, and just plain mean--and I was the brunt of it. The teachers? Some were laughable, others were okay. There was a definite lack of structure and

This is my daughter's first year at Rotolo. She's a sensitive kid, but she loves the school and had zero problems adjusting. Rotolo does a good job of keeping 6th graders separated from the older kids.Teachers seem mostly satisfactory and the new principal seems involved, qualified and approachable.

Read more Still getting to know teachers, but it seems to be a parent consensus that Mr. Meyers is really an exceptional drama teacher (above and beyond, with a great personality) and every kid, including mine seems to love that class--even if they aren't into drama. Math is going well and science/history with Miss Statler is a favorite. She's truly nice to the kids, connects with them and has great educational pets in-room like cool lizards. One bummer is the health class. Read less

I love Rotolo! It is probably one of the best middle schools in Illinois! First of all, academics are great! All the teachers have knowledge of the subject matter and can communicate it well. The Algebra program (starting in 6th grade) with Mrs. Swider is fantastically put together. Mrs. Dicke is a phenomenal

There are a lot of after-school clubs such as art club, Builder's Club, Game Club, Book Club, the Yearbook... and countless others. Parent involvement isn't very high, very low as a matter of fact. The music program here is remarkable, especially the husband/wife team of the Ozsvaths. This school has been a blessing and has really expanded my academic growth! I have learned so much in seventh grade! Read less
