Aldrich Elementary School

LOP School needs to update its learning. I am not happy with it's Leadership since Ms. DeY took over.

the education my children received here was mediocre at best. The school wastes too much time on parenting the children and pushing their "Leader In Me" program and not enough time on teaching. Almost every child gets through this school with decent grades, but then the reality of test scores and middle school come and you realize how much your children were not ready. Still - there are some really great teachers at this school, so I won't say all is awful here, if you are lucky enough to get them.

With a background in education myself, I am extremely happy with the education my children are receiving. The principal and vice principal are two of the most involved, approachable, friendly administrators I have ever seen. The principal knows the students on a first name basis. My children transferred into the school mid-year and were welcomed with open arms and have loved all of their teachers. School is what you make of it though, and if parents aren't involved in their children's learning at home, you surely can't blaim the teachers. Imo, this is by far one of the best schools in the district.

We love Rosenauer! I’m so happy my kids go there. I would be devastated if we were ever re-zoned. The teachers and entire staff are amazing! My daughter has been attending for 5 years and will begin her final year there soon. My youngest will start her 4th year there in the fall. While it’s a small school (the smallest in the district), it’s a mighty school with so much heart! Class size is small and kids gets the attention they need to grow! I remember when we registered for kindergarten thinking ‘oh this school is old and small, and not as “nice” as Crawford’, but I soon realized that was the superficial stuff that wasn’t really important. My kids don’t care that the sink figures are old or that the building isn’t huge, they care about their teachers and classmates. I’ve learned that the important stuff is about the interactions my children have day in and day out! We’ve had such a rewarding experience being apart of Rosenauer! The principal, Mr. P, is fair, kind and supportive. The teachers are helpful and really wonderful.

Great experience. All the staff are kind and caring.

The school looks like a cinder block prison. The teachers are woefully underpaid-that is why tuition is so low-and they are not experienced and turnover is high. The morale is nice but that does not make up for poor teaching. My son went from here to private school and he was at least one year behind his peers. You get what you pay for.

Our child has attended the school for many years now and we love the spiritual and academic formation he is receiving. I taught for many years and haven't had as positive an experience as we've experienced being part of this community.Participating in sports has been great because he is encouraged to not only do his best but to cheer for others too. With regard to bingo, it is illegal to compensate families in any way for working scheduled shifts. Anything done for families at other schools should never have taken place.
