We adore this school. The principal and staff are attentive and ready to help in any way possible. Feels like a real elementary school. They truly want to make elementary school a great experience for the kids. From the holiday fairs and celebrations, to the color run, to the fall festival, everything is so fun and down to earth. There is nothing pretentious about it and that is what makes it feel like home. It is just a good little school who puts the kids first always.

As a student at Rodger Quist Middle School, I can say that it has helped me. Last year, I attended a very rough elementary school, and I found myself in the office almost every day. While I do visit the office here occasionally, overall, my experience at Quist has helped me change for the better.However, during the second quarter, I noticed that some students started showing their true colors, and I found myself changing in a negative way. Certain friends peer pressured me into vaping, and that’s when I discovered that several students in my grade, probably about 7 to 17, vaped.The teachers are generally supportive once you build a good bond with them and understand their teaching styles. I believe that all grades would benefit from improvements in math teaching, as it can be quite challenging. Overall, the school is decent, but I do experience bullying and body shaming from a specific group of students. I think it would be helpful to ask teachers to keep a closer eye on the conversations students have.Regarding counseling, the counselors are pretty supportive, but I sometimes feel they are less helpful when discussing serious problems. They often try to make you happy instead of helping you cope with the issues you’re facing.

Horrible school and system if you have a child on IEP for ADHD they will make sure not to support your child at all. They label your child as a bad child right away and treat them as such. Really sad I have to pay a lawyer to have my child be supported by a school. Told by multiple staff there the school is too big. So your child will definitely just be a number to them and nothing more.
