3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child is finishing her third year at RMS, and it has been a wonderful experience. We live in the neighborhood, so she’s able to walk to and from school with her friends, which has been such a gift. Along the way, she has made many new friendships and truly feels part of the community.Every one of her teachers has been incredible, and the school administration and PTA have been intentional about creating more opportunities for parent involvement, which I deeply appreciate. Over the years, we’ve watched many families try to find the right fit at various charter schools, only to eventually return to Roosevelt. I would highly recommend Roosevelt Middle School to any family considering it for their child.Parent Review3mo ago
