This was the first school I attended in America. Usually people from different countries are not taught English. I, however, learned in on my own capabilities. My english teacher in 7th grade was the WORST. She made me hate school and she had this negative/toxic aura. Seventh grade for me was uncomfortable and ever changing. Each month felt different. Eight grade will always be my favorite. Yes, there was drama and fights but that’s part of middle school. I had the best teachers in eighth grade, especially my science teacher. The P.E (female) coaches tend to choose favorites which ofcourse makes a child feel less special. I liked this school, but not everyone can handle it!

We couldn’t be more excited about our Daughter attending Rock Prairie. Absolutely everyone at this school is an amazing integral part of the best team of educators I have ever seen. Everyone is dedicated to make this the best experience possible for these kids. I truly believe a huge part of that positive energy is the principal Mr. Durand. He knows everyone that walks through that school, everyone! I have never met a Principal who is as dedicated to his staff and students like Mr. Durand. The Energy at this school is something everyone should experience.

The front office is probably some of the rudest I have ever encountered in my life. It amazes me these people are working around kids when they can't even pretend to be decent . We are working on moving districts because my 5th grader is moving to 6th and I have another incoming kid coming to 5th. He is not as easy going as my oldest and if I have to go head to head with the front office, it will not end well. Even asking a simple non important question will be met with the upmost hostility. My husband received the same treatment when he was asking about traffic. My son that attended Cypress Grove said he would hear the principal constantly talk badly about the kids and called them annoying on multiple occasions with in ear shot of the children in the cafeteria. That tells me everything I need to know about Cypress Grove. The only saving grace here is a few of my sons teachers, he loved them! However, his science teacher we warned about before we ever got to the school and the entirety of the student body agrees she is not kind. It's science, if you can't have fun there, what is the hope? Leadership comes from the top and if you have a principal talking that way candidly with out a care in the world, a science teacher students are warning other children about, I wonder the example it sets for the rest. these are 10 & 11 year olds! Avoid this school, what a major disappointment it has been. Learning should be FUN and leaders should be mentors. A shame all around. To note: my son that attends this school makes all A's. I'm not some disgruntled parent disappointed in my child. I'm disappointed with leadership.

I had move from this school to another due to moving cities, but I am so thankful I moved. To be honest, I had made some friends that were uhm ‘different’. There is a lot of drama at this school. Maybe that was because I was surrounding myself with people who interfered in that. All I know is that people most likely will hate you for the littlelest thing. I had thi school for my freshman year. I knew it was suppose to be tough, but it was hectic. I had mostly advanced classes, and I felt like maybe I was stupid. There are significant amount of teachers I didn’t understand from especially my APHG teacher. She actually made fun of her students and liked to disrespect them quite often. The counselors are very strict and it didn’t make me want to open up if I did do something wrong. There was an Assistant principal that most student loved but he had became a principal at another school. He was the best, and so was my English and Spanish teacher. It’s a 50/50 situation at this school. Do it at your own risk!!
