My child has an IEP. I requested 1 more additional individual speech therapy session.A member of the team suggested private speech therapy. As if I am going to pay for private therapy.Sorry I can't afford that. Trust me I would love to be able to provide that for my child.I already pay Cherry Hill Township a lot in taxes to live here! I was extremely disappointed to here such an unprofessional comment.Parents are suppose to be members of the IEPTeam, not true!

My son had an excellent experience during his 3 years at Rosa. His teachers are excellent, the principal is very communicative with parents/guardians, etc. My child thrived here both academically, musically and athletically. It is clear that staff care very much for their students. One down side is larger class sizes. Other than that, it was fantastic.

As a substitute teacher, my experience with the current leadership at this school has been deeply disappointing. The administration places excessive pressure on staff, including substitutes, without providing the necessary support or communication. There is a noticeable lack of cohesion and coordination among staff, which contributes to a chaotic and disorganized environment. Even students are aware of the ongoing tensions between staff members.School safety is a major concern. Exterior doors are often left propped open—frequently by staff—creating serious security vulnerabilities. The security team and some administrators show favoritism toward certain students and staff. For example, during a homeroom I was subbing for, an administrator removed students who were not on my roster but made exceptions for others they personally favored, even though they were also not listed. I found this trend with many administrators in the school.Many of the rules and expectations imposed by the administration are inconsistently enforced. Staff are often assigned extra responsibilities, such as bathroom duty, without any prior training or clear instructions—sometimes even lacking access to keys or essential resources. Expectations are often unrealistic. For example they wanted me to stop students from leaving the building during field day. That’s something I feel security should do.This year, there has been a noticeable decline in both staff and student autonomy. Many freedoms that previously supported a healthy and engaging school environment have been taken away, contributing to low morale. Instead of focusing on meaningful improvements, the administration seems more concerned with appearances, control, and damage control, which creates a toxic and stressful atmosphere for everyone.

Horrible school and horrible district-not responsive to parents-dismissive to student needs - not willing to give students with special needs support services -principal mr o’connor doesn’t return calls-computer teacher who supplies plenty free time so she doesn’t need to support students with learning needs

Overcrowded classrooms. Was only able to get much needed services for my child only after I reached out to the superintendent. Subs are a constant. Chromebooks are relied on to educate. Kids are poorly behaved and older kids do not set a good example. Staff says they are there to help and support but do not follow through. Parents and PTA are cliquey and exclusionary. No safety training on drills for parents who volunteer in the building.
