Rogers Street Academy

Even though we don't live in the MPS school district, we are one of many parents who commute to Forest Home daily to ensure that our children get an above-standard bilingual education. It is very unfortunate that the state does not include bilingual classrooms scores in all areas and all grades as this does not allow for a full picture of what the school is achieving and has to offer. The bilingual teachers are spectacular. They are engaging with the students and the families. They are tuned into the needs of each individual child and tailor their styles to ensure that each child succeeds. They are communicative with the parents which allows for teamwork in getting the results we all want - student success in all areas... academics, social, etc.

some of the employees are so not motavading

This school has horrible staff that are racist to other races, so if your child is white or Native American, I suggest you find a different school. The people that work in the office give attitudes all the time. If your child gets in trouble once, then they pick on your child and set your child up for failure. Not all of the staff is like that but most are. They don’t like to listen to reason or even investigate situations that happen at the school.

My kids were transferred to this school at the beginning of the year.The principal and the rest of the staff made sure that my kids were welcomed and adjusted well due to their sudden transfer. The teachers at Longfellow gives me that old school feeling like when I was going to school. From the principals down to the teacher's aide they want the best for our children and their families. The great level of understanding and gratitude is genuinely sincere.

The teachers and staff are amazing and work with each child to make sure they are at the level they are suppose to be. I have three children in the school who are all doing well. They have many programs and after school activities to help struggling students. Parents are welcome in the school not only to volunteer but also for academic opportunities.

ALBA is Great I love the unity not just from the staff but the parents and students. Proud to say my child attends ALBA

My daughter just started school this year and I cannot rave enough about the teachers and staff that are incredibly supportive and caring for their students. This care is shown not in just how my child has grown academically and emotionally, but especially how she has grown spiritually. God's Word is part of every school day! Whether in chapel, during devotions, or when they get to sing in church, the good news about Jesus her Savior is in her heart and on her lips! She is developing an attitude and perspective that she wouldn't get anywhere else outside of this multicultural setting. I wouldn't send her anywhere else!
