I love ROE!!! My child has Asperger’s syndrome and this was her first year (kindergarten) that she’s ever been in any form of an institution. My husband and I work from home so we are always on the go. Never having any structure, my daughter was able to learn and grow in an environment conducive to
Posted by a parent on 8/2/2022The experience varies from year to year, as teachers retire and new ones replace them. Because I have another experience to compare to this one, ROE is chaotic, fast paced, disorganized, and there is not enough time in the day for teachers to teach advanced math skills, teach a music instrument, or
Posted by a parent on 5/29/2018This school is run like an organized ship. I wish that the school supported a different environment where teachers nurtured the kids learning and made it more fun for the kids. There is a lot of pressure to learn and to preform. I get that, but I think the school needs more teachers who personally c
Posted by a parent on 4/24/2017The principal is very easy to talk to. She takes all concerns seriously and responds promptly. There are a few parents who walk around with a sense of entitlement. She doesn't put them on a pedestal and therefore the complaints below about her. She is fair. She is intelligent. She is very careful ab
Posted by a parent on 1/3/2017My daughter has also attended this school since Kindergarten. For the past years, parents were allowed to walk their kids to classroom without any issues. Parents have been very cooperative in the morning and follow school guideline. Just this week, Dr. Fovart, sent out email banning parents from wa

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Average(I was a student at this school)This school was fun and their teaching is very good,and they had a lot of fun activites, and a lot of them included the childs family, but the students are racist and the teachers dont seem to care they dont really do anything about the racist comments or bulling, also they did not treat my brother well,and labled him as "Artistic" but as soon as he went to another school he was acing all his classes and getting honor roll,so overall i would say this school is okay.Student Review1y ago - St Luke's Day School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school has great potential, but it just falls short on anything beyond average. We liked that the school was small, but it's just because they consistently can't meet enrollment. I was embarassed after neighbor visited and said it seemed" sad, drab and uninviting. This is actually quite accurate. Teachers are ok, but not dynamic or extraordinary. The campus is old and unsafely spread out. There is a high turnover of staff and students. The newest administration is not knowledgeable about Montessori and seems to be there more for himself and career rather than passionate about the philosophy. We were so excited about the possibilities, but It has fallen short in nearly every area. We will be one of the many moving on.Parent Review3mo ago - River Oaks Baptist School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is designed to train white privileged obedient students, not emotionally resilient future leaders. We are immigrant families that experienced unsaid discrimination. They only care about easy management and money, not educating my kids. Not recommended.Parent Review3mo ago - Annunciation Orthodox School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe are the parents of an AOS Lower School student, who has attended for several years. Before matriculating, we were a new family to the school, so we only had friends' world of mouth to guide our school decision. The school has exceeded our already high expectations in every imaginable way. Our son loves school—he is thriving academically and socially.Parent Review7mo ago
