Kettering has been an amazing experience for both my girls! From the moment you step onto campus, you can feel the warmth, energy, and dedication of the incredible teachers and staff who go above and beyond to create an enriching environment. This school isn’t just about academics (which are excellent) —it’s about experiences that shape young kids in the best way possible. Where else do kids get access to violin lessons, weekly music programs, chorus, garden education, art, and incredible field trips all woven into their learning journey? The teachers are engaging, passionate, and truly invested in each child’s success. I still can’t believe we get to be part of this amazing school community.

I feel compelled to write a review in the hopes that I can save another family from experiencing the hell that is Rogers Middle School. Hate speech, threats of violence and actual physical violence run rampant in this school. Teachers turn a blind eye and in some cases are a bully themselves. The principal acts like a child and is not respected as an authority figure by the students. They think the best way to deal with violent students is to talk it out. The students know they can get away with things and there is no discipline. I feel as though it’s generous to rate this school a one because my child will have to deal with a lifetime of trauma and that deserves a negative number in my opinion.

Taught here for a number of years. Moved my own kids to Orange County because I didn't want them attending here. The administration was just horrible. The whole district is more worried about their reputation, looking good and garnering awards from no name organizations. The administration will post rules and policies but are no where to be found enforcing them. Long Beach does not seem to get rid of bad principals either. Instead they just shuffle them around to other sites. A colleague of mine called this the "dance of the lemons."
