All the negative reviews have been accurate. My son has gone there for 4 years. I just found this website. The statistics seem to accurately portray the reality of this school. Students are not respected by the employees, there is little to no communication with the parents, the resource officer is highly inappropriate, has even pulled a gun on my non-violent and non-threatening son. They have refused my requests to put him with kids his own age multiple times, despite his iep. Most teachers will push kids through even with no effort to bolster their statistics, which are still lousy. School lunch is inadequate. Some good teachers but the norm seems to be cocky, creepy or immature young teachers with little to no experience. Apparently one teachers comes into class throwing up his set (representing his gang, for those who didn't know). Regular threats of violence against the school make the students and parents nervous on a daily basis, yet the school doesn't report these incidents to the parents, we have to find out from our kids or the news. Busing is horrible, and may have improved slightly this last year, is still unreliable. I have heard reports of the drivers hopping curbs at speed and driving through yards without stopping. Long story short, if you love your kid, don't make the same mistake I did... send them to almost any other school than Benson. BTW, I'm not trolling with rating as low as possible, this reflects my true sentiment towards this school and their staff.

I am a new Monroe Middle School student and I can just tell you this is a great school for any 7th-8th grader! I recommend this school to people with 7th-8th grade kids :)

Our son has been going to Rose Hill for 5-years. We absolutely love this school. The teachers and staff are some of the warmest, kindest people I have ever met. There is great diversity at this school both in terms of ethnicity, and in terms of socioeconomic background. Academically, our son has thrived at Rose Hill, but more importantly, he has learned how to interact with kindness and compassion to people of any background. My only complaint about Rose Hill is that we have to leave it.
