Joppa View Elementary School

My daughter has been going to SOES since PreK3 and we have loved every single second of it up until this year. Her first grade teacher has been less than impressive and you can tell this is only a job for her. That she doesn’t actually care about how well her students are doing. We are only two months into the school year and I wish we could transfer to another teacher. The fact that she didn’t even acknowledge my daughter at the trunk or treat event this year was extremely disheartening. I sure do hope this is just a one off year and that next year is much better

If your child needs help and support don’t let the blue ribbon award fool you. Special education here is often given by a para pro (not even a certified teacher.). Admin will spend more time hiding your child’s weakness so they don’t have to be held accountable or give any intervention. They began to read my child’s tests outloud to him so he would get As and Bs and then used his inflated grades to deny him help (despite him being 2 years behind in reading). Of course they didn’t communicate to me that he was getting assistance on his tests. It was disgusting. Principal sits in her office all day and only responds to parents if you reach out to a board or council member. I was extremely disappointed with the entire admin, counselors and special education team. I know others in special ed who have had a similar experience. They put all the kids in GT classes to try and accelerate the scores but won’t help the ones behind.

Still suffer childhood trauma and depression because of my experiences here. Constany bullied, harassed, and put down by teachers. Hated this school and would never come back, nor would I honestly recommend anyone to.

The teachers and staff are phenomenal. Kids are fully supported and challenged.

We absolutely love Rosedale Christian Academy! Our daughter has attended for the past two years in their Pre-K program, and we could not be happier with our experience. The teachers and staff are truly phenomenal—they are caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth both academically and spiritually.Communication with families is always open and consistent, which gives us so much peace of mind as parents. Rosedale does an amazing job creating a strong sense of community through family events, field trips, and many opportunities for parents to volunteer and stay involved throughout the year.Our daughter absolutely loves going to school each day, and it’s been wonderful to see how much she has grown in confidence, learning, and her love for school. Safety is also a top priority, with a locked campus and security regularly walking the grounds, which we truly appreciate.In addition, their summer program is fantastic—fun, engaging, and packed with activities that keep the kids active and excited. We are so thankful to be part of the Rosedale family and highly recommend Rosedale Christian Academy to any family looking for a nurturing, faith-centered environment for their child.
