Red Rock

My son attended Vaughan from Kindergarten during Covid through graduating 5th grade. This school has been nothing short of amazing. Every year, it felt like over half of the grade was testing at over 85-90% with A or A/B honor roll. It is a testament to the families in the area as well as the great teachers at the school that have all been amazing for all 6 years. The administrators, teachers, special teachers, Target teachers, and PTSA have all seemed to truly care about the students progression, happiness and safety. It hurts me to see the school not getting a higher rating than it does.

We switched to Ford from a different school to this school, and the difference has been astounding. Our boys are actually happy to go to school now. Their progress has skyrocketed. Sitting in a classroom with other kids who actually want to learn has made them want to learn as well. The people in the front office somehow actually know my name... and my kid's name... and the name of every single kid there it seems. That isn't even really necessary, but the fact that the teachers and staff seem to love these kids and know that they are all a part of something special is obvious. The bottom line to other parents is, if you've got problems with your kids and you're looking for the source of said problems, you'll be wasting your time to point the finger at this school. Try looking inward. :-D

27 students in 2nd grade, 1 teacher24 students in 4th grade, 1 teacherA LOT of staff has been let go due to the financial position of the school. Their science books insists the Earth is 5000-7000 years old. Too much emphasis on grammar and not enough on quality reading and writing. Extremely test heavy even in early elementary grades. Bullying on all levels has been a consistent problem.
