Rocky Branch Elementary School

I love the educators and support staff at this school. I’m warming up to the principal. Once again, I would really love to see someone in a position of leadership demonstrating a consistent practice of calling out (in front of the students/parents) all staff members out for the wonderful contributions that they make every single day. Not saying it doesn’t happen ever, but kids should see people calling others out for being wonderful as often as possible.

This school under performs year after year and has the lowest vaccine rate (70% for the 2016-2017 school year) for the district. The parents think they're exceptional... Their kids attend public school like the rest of us. If it weren't for the vaccine rate and the fact that they'd merge their unvaccinated kids in with the children of the sane parents, I'd vote to have this school shut down.

We first toured Heartland Montessori when our son was almost two, and my initial thought was how peaceful and organized it felt—so much so that I was convinced my very high-energy child was going to disrupt the environment! I’ve always adored the Montessori philosophy, so we decided to give it a chance.The incredible teachers worked with him on emotional regulation, routine, and respecting his space. They were endlessly patient and supportive, helping him develop his language skills while truly caring for him as an individual. Fast forward a year—he’s now talking, thriving, and has moved up to the Children’s House. He absolutely loves going to school, thanks to the trusted staff and the amazing kids in his class. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience in this wonderful community. Heartland Montessori has been a gift to our family!

As a parent, I couldn't be happier with our experience at Saint Bridget's so far. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we felt welcomed into a community that truly cares about our child's academic and spiritual growth. The faculty and staff go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported. The integration of Catholic values into daily lessons fosters a sense of empathy, kindness, and respect among the students. We are grateful to be part of such a wonderful school community and highly recommend Saint Bridget's to any parent seeking amorally grounded education for their child.
