Rock Creek Elementary

This is a poorly run school. There is poor leadership by the head of school (who has no education administration experience), administrators and the school board. This is not a healthy school academically, spiritually or emotionally. Academics - High teacher turnover rates; teachers asked to write curriculum for classes and the majority of middle/highschool classes not being based from textbook with little administration oversight. My kids were not challenged academically here. Spiritually - this school is run very unBiblically. The school board is made up of all parents, the current board then picks the parents that can run for the board with all school board meetings being closed and school board minutes confidential. There is not a culture of mutual respect with the parents on the board, they have no accountability and there are a few families that have control of the school. Emotionally - administration is manipulative and deceitful, making it an emotionally unsafe place for children. Certain families are shown favoritism and their children will not be punished. They have increased tuition significantly since ESAs have passed. The school lacks a vision for growth and has become clique with families only able to get in if they get a recommendation from a family that leaderships approves of. The parking lot is a complete disaster especially during after school pickup, someone is going to be run or backed over. This past year the school board made a new policy that if you withdraw your students for the next academic school year after May 1st you will be charged $1,000 for each student you withdraw. Please look elsewhere for quality Christian education. This school has the ability to be good but bad leadership continues to pick back leadership and they are out of touch with the parents.
