NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter is in 1st grade now. As a parent whose native language is not English, I am very appreciating what teachers did for my daughter, especially, Ms. Glenn-Helmer, Ms. Daunhauer. Teacher send email to us to let parents know what our kids learned in school. Also, teacher tell us how to help our kids to review and learned at home. The teacher help my daughter choose her reading book according to her reading level. Teachers encourage my daughter to her talent in classroom. Teachers in Rogers are knowledgeable, responsible, and careful. My daughter is very enjoy her school time.Parent Review11y ago - Jackson Creek Middle School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe had a school dance and Two boys name of like Luis and Jose went around and touched girls inappropriately and unzipping their dresses, 5 girls were crying, assistant principal did nothing about it, there was this great kid named like Issac who had enough and hit one of the dudes. But he got suspended for 3 days while those two had no punishment. I was dealing with boys being weird around me and they also got away with it. In addition Issac was kicked out the dance before the two?? Teachers don’t really have the best ways of teaching and the way that they teach confuses me. The lunches are pre served and you can only get one entree now, kids can’t get up for water unless table is called, which can endanger them if they don’t get the sources they need. You aren’t allowed to get extras, which left me hungry throughout the day if the food is too little on certain days. But yeah I wouldn’t recommend this school because you will have to worry constantly about if you will feel safe here or be in the right hands.Other Review6mo ago
