Immanuel Lutheran School

I have a lot of kids and moved around the country, so I have a good comparison. Wyman does a great job.Dr. Ray knows all the kids' names. I had an issue with a teacher I couldn't resolve and he addressed it immediately and followed up by email and phone.The teachers are all great, including music, art, counselors. The school focuses on emotional control - controlling your anger, frustration, etc. which is a good life skill.Field trips, the Christmas store, assemblies are all well-managed and free. They have a friendship club for kids that struggle making friends. If I have a complaint, it is with their special services/IEP. This is probably a criticism of Missouri standards moreso than Wyman. My child was removed from speech and OT he had in two other states because he was "good enough". Add that to the limited availability of private services in Rolla, and kids on the line seem to fall in a crack.

No communication. If you live too close, refused bus services.

I am impressed with the quality of the teachers, staff and the administrator. This is a school where all students are valued and they demonstrate this with all they do for our kids. The PTO is active, the test scores are great, the district is supported by the community, and they truly care about children. I have lived in numerous communities and this school is the best I have worked with. There are three elementary schools in Rolla and this is the best of the three too! I would not buy a house in Rolla unless it were in the Mark Twain District.

Poor school that could be so much better. The principal should not be anywhere near education. My kids missed significant chunks of content that they will not get taught until college.
