Posted by a parent on 5/2/2019Ellis is absolute garbage, I literally am moving JUST to avoid sending my kids back there to waste another year of their education.
Posted by a parent on 7/25/2014While the teachers try their best, this school is a madhouse. Students are allowed to bully and harass other students. My daughter came home with her scalp bleeding from having her hair pulled out during class but when we spoke to the teacher about it, we were told if he didn't see it happen, it did

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSuch an amazing environment with staff that literally treat you like their own kids. I have never felt safer in any school than I do here at Roosevelt. Roosevelt gave me a new start when I truly felt hopeless and like a failure. The staff raises you up, and the principal (and vice principal) are two of the sweetest people in the whole world. It is truly an honor to be allowed to go to this school. I seriously recommend it as a current (2025-2026 SY) student there. I'll be sad to graduate and leave the staff behind when I do, but also honored that I was given a second chance to be allowed to graduate.Student Review6mo ago - St. Peter Cathedral School
