My child attended Rockenbaugh for 5 years and loved it. It is warm, nurturing and very loving. The only concern that I have about the school is that the Vice Principal does not know how to deal with parents or difficult situations. She approaches parents and students with military style. The principal

I wish parents could be involved in classrooms i.e. Centers. The homework & classwork amount and quality are not near my child's last school which was in another state. Teachers need more up-to-date training. Grade team teachers need to send emails keeping parents informed regarding material covered

New principal is committed to improving her teachers' stills. Way too much emphasis on TAKS test. Need more differentiation. Cater to the very bright, fast paced learner. Not much room for the average student. Highly competitive. Beautiful building and grounds. Poor science program.

RES has a tight-knit group of teachers and administrators that make it feel like a private school. Curriculum is also tightly intertwined so students are always prepared for the next grade level. Even from kindergarten, kids are doing story maps that will eventually help them with the 4th grade writing

Recent budget cuts forced all Carroll elementery schools to cut music and art to one semester per year and Spanish is gone altogether. We can only hope that eventually these programs are brought back, but until then after-school opportunities are available for a fee. Read less
