We had a horrible experience with Administration during the time our child was supposed to attend RG in 2006, requiring that we move to a private school. Discipline issues were not being addressed at RG as promised & our child was subject to unnecessary punishment. Three years later, I am here to say
... Read more that our child is excelling in all subjects & was just inducted into the Beta Club, a select group. The teachers in the private school have guided her in developing incredible study skills which will prove beneficial as she moves forward in the education path. I sadly doubt this would have occurred at RG. We made the right decision to move her from RG. Maybe the RG Adm needs to consider parents' concerns more seriously. Middle school years are crucial years in study habit/skills development. Read less

The academic program S.A.G.E. is outstanding and one that can be challenged academically against ANY school. We found the school to be extremely friendly and my daughter who was new this year was made to feel right at home by both staff and the other students. We never experienced any disciple problems

Both the teachers and the students seemed to truly respect each other. The extracurricular activities offered werent as strong as we had hoped, but they were fine. Parent involement is very strong and very welcomed. Read less

This would have been our 1st year at Roland-Grise, but it was a real disappointment to me, mainly when dealing with Adminstration. Principal Hatch announced early on about 'no tolerance' when it came to discipline, but we never experienced it. RG places their students in 3 tiers using EOGs as the main
... Read more tool for placement. My A's & B's child all through elementary school was placed in the tier 2 level. Discipline problems galore & nothing was being done about it! No way any child can learn in this atmosphere. Music program was one of the best in the state. Not enough athletic programs available for 6th graders, but what they have are good. PTA is outstanding. We now have our daughter in a private school & is on the 'A' Honor Roll. Read less

My child has experianced a lot of bullying at this school. I have had meetings with the administration from the beginning of the school year but there have been no changes. There have been no offers from the teachers to introduce my child to students that have the same interests as my child. I have also
... Read more asked that the teachers befriend my child so he can trust them and depend on them to help him with this problem. I have had no luck. It is very difficult being a single parent and being involved in this school. This school has made my child feel like he is the lowest life form on the totum pole. Those are my childs words. All he wants is one friend.We are not informed until the last minute of any new academic programs, we feel left out. Parent involement is strong but upper class. Read less

The academic programs here aren't at their greatest. Out of a rating of 1-5 I'd give it a 3. The availability of music, art, sports, and other activities can be very sudden. For example, the students go to school. Their parents think they are going home on time. Then all of a sudden, they announce that
