Roger R Bell Elementary

This school is still horrible. Teachers communication with parents is very poor. Students are failing and falling behind and are the teachers are too busy to do their jobs.

Under Ms.Hollaways' direction the school seemed to be thriving, parents were kept up-to-date and had a voice within the school. Teachers like Mrs. Earp are under appreciated. I would not recommend this school to another parent.

I have had two grand children attend this school and go on to college. I currently have one grand child and two great grands enrolled here and they are doing excellent. I'm a firm believer that parents working with their child makes a difference not only in their learning abilities, but also in their home training is a great help.

I wish there was a no star rating. Why? Because I was constantly bullied here and none of the teachers nor did the principal(s) put an end to such. The entire school seemed to shame me for a disability. And I thought school was supposed to be a safe haven? It wasn't. I was scared to go to school and I used to go home crying. Roger Bell gave me anxiety issues, gave me the fear of making new friends because I was scared someone would come around and change their mind due to my disabilities or the way I was. If I were to ever go back to Roger Bell - For even a visit. I would scream. I would scream and let everyone know what I had been holding back. The pain you caused me, has only made me stronger. And I hope, I hope no other child there has to go through what I did.

This school seems to be in decline. Some teachers are trying but the boats taking on too much water. The new asst. principal Mr. Smith yells at kids and is quick to pass judgement before getting the facts straight. When we approached the principal with the teacher who was able to prove the asst principal wrong in his assessment the principal said he has to back his asst principals decision. Commendable, but too proud to admit a mistake was made. Very disappointed in the leadership of this school.
