Roger Sherman School

I never liked this school from day one just because of the parking and I feel like my child's being single without because she may need extra help I feel like the school rushes the students no one's going to change my mind on how I feel I just don't like the principal we never seen eye to eye and every time we have a conversation it feels like she's laughing at me

The rating placed on this school does not do justice to the professionalism of the staff or the care my son receives. Your Child will progress well here and be well equipped for middle school. I would rate this school overall 9 out of 10 objectively.

Principal doesn’t take threats seriously. A student threatened another with a gun and the principal didn’t believe it was true. Most teachers are disrespectful to the students. One paraprofessional yanked my son by the neck of his sweater during a drill and when I raised a concern about it I was told well she will stay in the classroom we will just tell her not to do that again. Additionally, there’s no extra help for struggling students. Horrible school 10/10 do NOT recommend.

I’m not sure how often this website is updated but my daughter has done very well at this school, she’s improved so much despite going through a pandemic she did not fall too far behind, caught up, and now exceeding her grade level. She’s made tons of friends and the environment seems to be pretty healthy (socially) for her. They’ve also been awarded the National Blue Ribbon award as well, which is given to schools for their overall academic excellence. Personally what I like most is their security as well. I feel very comfortable leaving my kid there and even the bus driver knows my neighborhood, and what cars are usually suppose to be there and who. One time wouldn’t allow my daughter off the bus because she didn’t see my car, which if we’re being honest could just be the great worker and not the case with every bus but still... idk I guess 5/10 is the rating but to me that seems too low, I believe this school is performing at least a 7 or higher. Decide for yourselves.

The teacher make me feel very unsafe and constantly talk about their political views.

My son went here for K and now is in first grade. I have seen his confidence grow in all areas, academically and socially. I was impressed by my kid's ability to read, write, and draw after Kindergarten. The self-led pace of math learning on chrome books was helpful for him, as he's naturally drawn to math and computer games. He's on the shyer-side, but was excited to make many friendships. He also spoke highly of the music, art, and technology classes. I love that he got to collaborate with 5th grade buddies throughout the year. The teachers have been wonderful and communicate frequently via Parent Square. The PTG is very active and organizes fun events throughout the year. The YMCA AM/PM care is onsite and very helpful for our work schedule.

I love the small sized classrooms at St Joseph School because they give the children the individual attention they need. The families are all very nice and welcoming and help make this school special. Rounding out the education with religion and instilling core values and morale's into the children is just one of many reasons we decided to send our children here. There is no place I'd rather have my children get their education than at St Joseph school!
