Roenne's School

My eldest daughter who is now 16 attended this school at the age of 2. Since leaving Donna Ro, she has excelled beyond belief. She is actually a grade AHEAD because their academic structure was (and hopefully is) so GREAT!! I now have a 2 year old (i know, a big gap) whom i also intend to send there. When i went to inquire of price range, the staff was the SAME staff from 14 years ago!!! AND they remembered my eldest daughter, as she was with me that day! LOve, Love, Love this school!!!

We’ve decided to remove our child from Holy Spirit next year. The final straw was when my child came home and told me their class had to take the same standardized test over and over again. That’s not teaching—that’s basically memorizing the test until the scores look better.There are also serious issues with who is actually teaching the kids. Apparently you don’t even need a degree to teach here. On several occasions the janitor, the yard supervisor, and even the lunch lady were used to substitute in classrooms. That’s honestly shocking for a school that advertises itself as an academic program.I used to hear rumors about families leaving and I didn’t want to believe them, but after seeing things for myself I understand why so many parents walk away.This school seems much more focused on its image than on actually educating the kids. There’s no real STEM lab like they promote—it's basically just a small four-unit building with bathrooms.Kids deserve teachers who are qualified and a school that actually excites them about learning. Unfortunately that hasn’t been our experience here, so we’ll be taking our child somewhere else next year.
