Rosamond Elementary School

9/10. The pick up can be coordinated a little better.

My daughter has been going there seen kindergarten and is now in second grade. Yes in the begining i was weary because they only had a 1/10. But I have seen an enormous improvement and now all grades are part of the avid program, the are giving the school an awesome new make-over, they have started a small farm, and they getting a cow!!! They are now up to a 3/10!!!!! Good job RES, students and staff for working together.

My daughter attended 1st grade here. She attended K out of state and was in GATE. When I was enrolling her I inquired about GATE or any other extra curricular or advanced classes. The lady in the office literally laughed at me, saying they don't having the funding for any of that. 1/2 way through the school year was the last we saw of her teacher and her class had half a dozen different subs throughout the last 1/2 of the yr. When I asked what happened to her teacher I was told they couldn't tell me and when I asked if or when he would be returning they simply said they don't know. Absolutely nothing extra was offered, but as soon as she was absent I received multiple notices stating she could come in on a Sat to make up her absence by sitting in a room doing nothing educational (but at least the school would get their funding). "PE" consisted of their regular teacher (or should I say whichever sub they had that day) having the class run to the fence and back...never any organized sports or other forms of exercise. At the end of the school yr I pulled her out and felt like that year was a waste of our time.

I adopted a nine year old in 4th grade who had a very rough start. She was unable to form sentences when she moved in with me & has been in speech her whole academic life which has put her in danger of failing every single year. Each year I swear she got the best teachers who really cared about her success. Each year her grades improved but she still struggled in reading. This year she's ending the school year with all A's & B's!!! I a very excited that I will be able to attend an awards ceremony for something academic & not just behavior. This would not be possible without her determination & all of her awesome teachers (Mr. Warfield - 4th grade, Mrs. Chitwood - 3rd grade, Mrs. Starkey - 2nd Grade & Mrs. Lizotte - 1st Grade). I would also like to add that the principal, Mr. Torres, is the best principal ever! He is so dedicated & makes it a point to get to know the students. He's funny & always welcoming. Also, the school offers an awesome after school program as well!
