Roslyn Heights Elementary School

Funding driven school. Teachers just push curriculum to students. No extra support given. Some teachers are mean and cruel, some lack experiences, some shouldnt even being teaching young students. No special classes or programs if students can advance. This school extremely worry about and stay strictly on top of student head counts, which drives the school funding.

This school set the base for me and hundreds of other students. The teachers are all amazing and people I will never forget no matter what. These were the best years of my life (education wise) and I only have Our Lady of Grace Montessori School for that!

In the best of years SAS is an amazing school! This year it has gone above and beyond to educate the children, make them feel safe and give them some normalcy in what has been a year that has not had much of that! Thank you to the administration, teachers and staff for teaching our kids, their minds and spirit!

A RIP-OFF. This school is great if you have a genius child who doesn’t need to be taught. For others, it’s a toxic environment, destroying your child’s self-esteem and mental health. Expect relentless pressure, test after test, and teachers who give ZERO support. It’s a home for teachers who can’t get a job elsewhere; they’ll tell your child to “look up” answers online while watching YouTube or texting their friends during class. A few teachers go even as far as bullying students and actively damaging young students out of pure enjoyment. Then, there is an issue of blatant favoritism toward children of the wealthy/influential; it's disheartening. Administrators ignore complaints and dismiss any concerns raised. The head of the school is only interested in clinging to his position, while the new upper school principal appears to be in retirement mode. If you love your child, STAY AWAY.
