Roaring Brook is an excellent school and has so many opportunities that any student can experience. The teachers want students to exceed and are very experienced and easily reachable for any questions. They encourage students to learn and work hard. All of the administration is very kind.

The good:Smart, straight A students do well and get some opportunity for advanced classes in 8th grade.Most teachers are amazing and kind.The counselors are supportive. The bad:Most other students struggle.Stressful environment.Unreasonable homework load, that consists mostly of busy work.Overworked children and teachers.Neurodivergent kids are not supported even with accommodations (see above - overworked teachers. There’s only so much they can do.). Brilliant ND kids are constantly being pushed out to private schools, if the parents are able to afford.District schools tend to dismiss mid-day for disagreeable various reasons, like rain. With too short of a notice to parents. (Happened twice this school year alone.)Also worth mentioning that cost of housing and taxes for the district are very high.
