(Continued again) Well I'll just try and finish this up. Anyway, as if that wasn't bad enough, it was time for me to go to lunch as it was 10:41 and I had English next and 1st floor D wing usually has first lunch... And guess what? I wasn't even allowed to go to much because one of the teachers said I had to go back to the Alternative Learning Program room as I was enrolled in that program to be rewarded for doing what I was supposed to do but even then I really didn't receive many rewards for doing exactly that and when I tried to get away, he blocked the door on me, of course! So now I get punished for trying to follow my routine? Give me a break! So basically, from my view, the staff in this school cares nothing for you if you have an I.E.P and just seems to throw common sense out the window when dealing with these types of ordeals... Thank god for homeschooling!

As an international students here, my daughter really made a great progress with the help of teachers here, and when she came back to China, she won the third place of English speech competition, compared with other student with one year abroad study experience, I appreciate the teaching in this school.

We have been with Rockwell for about 15 years, our oldest is 19 and youngest is 5. The support we recieved when our eldest was diagnosed with ADHD was incredible. The teachers, staff, nurses throughout the years have played a huge success in our children's learning ability. All supportive, caring, and even some teachers challenging our children because they knew they could do better and saw it in them. I am so glad we never left the Rockwell neighborhood district!

The school is amazing, the staff is dedicated and nurturing to a degree. The administration has changed, and it has changed the climate quite a bit. Mr. Carbone was an awesome leader, kept everyone happy. Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Homen are quite a bit more aggressive and keep a keen eye on each and every teacher. It has changed the climate, making teachers more accountable, but also not as happy. Change is difficult, and I think the staff are taking deep breaths and trying their hardest to cope with the added struggles. All in all, kids are number 1, and they are trying to teach responsibility, so if you forget your book or your homework frequently, yes, their are consequences, and I think that is a great thing!!

Great school! Parents could step up more and make this school even better! The Parents group tried hard this year to do a lot for the students but the lack of parent support caused issues. As far as the teaching staff... They are awesome! They take the time to know you and your child's needs! They work to help your child succeed!
