I have 2 children in the multi-age classroom and they both love the program. They are completely different learners and the program fits them both. There is a lot of parent involvement and it's nice to know I can drop in at any time unannounced. It is teaching them both the responsiblity of staying on task and organization of work and time management. The teaching is done in a caring environment, by dedicated teachers.
Rolling Hills School does not focus on what's important. The multi-age classes are chaotic with too much down time for students. The school population has increased yet nothing has been done to accommodate more children. Rolling Hills students certainly know how to have fun, but where's the learning?
This school is fantastic! My son is currently in kindergarten in a multi-age classroom and he loves it. The principal is always out greeting parents and children, the office staff is extremely attentive. I am regularly in the classroom volunteering and the children are not only being challenged academically; they are also introduced to different types of arts. I highly recommend Rolling Hills. You can schedule a very thorough tour with the principal during the spring..that's what my husband and I did last year.
The Multi Age classes are a gift from God. I have two boys that attend them and they love it and are learning not only their basic required skills, they are also learning how to be leaders and are developing to be muture, caring, and confident boys. Can't say enough about the Parent invlovement. You would be hard pressed to find a school that has a better family and community spirit!
My daughter has attended Rolling Hills for 2 years. One year being in a traditional classroom, and the second being in the ABC program. Both have been wonderful. The ABC works better with my child, but it is not for everyone. The teachers are encouraging and caring and the office staff is helpful. They are even closely monitoring my daughter with her progression because she is slightly immature for her grade. It is nice to know that the school is concerned for my daughter, and is willing to work with her, rather than to sweep her under the rug for students who aren't as much of a challenge.
My child is in the MP3 program and I am not sure what the parent was talking about that said it cost $100's of dollars to go to school here. There is no charge because it is a public school. With my child in the MP3 program I am able to participate in my child's education and see what he is doing and I like this. Our old school (we transferred) would not let me be in the classroom on my volunteer days because the teacher was uncomfortable with parents. In this program I work once a week in the classroom for 3 1/2 hours and if one wants to volunteer for more hours it is always welcome. This program is not for every child so take a tour and talk to parents that are in the program to see what it is like. If you are a parent that likes tests, homework and drives you child to get high test scores then this MP3 program is not for you. The MP3 program encourages the children to be independent learners, to think, question, problem solve, and work together.
This is a great school. They really care about kids and work hard to make sure that every student is successful. There are lots of family events and an active arts program.
All this school cares about is making money and test scores. They lack the ability to discipline children its chaotic and stuffy in the classrooms and most of these teachers methods of teaching is reading out of a book. Not very good for adapting to different learning styles.
Rolling Hills is a wonderful neighborhood school with a traditional program and a MultiAge program. There is a strong focus on the arts and students use technology in their classrooms. It is a pretty campus. Parents are very involved in PTA and classrooms. My kids love it there. It is a great school!
I recently moved in the rolling hills elementary school area. I can honestly say I have never met such nice, friendly, polite staff as well as the children just such a delite to be part of such a great school and community. Thank you,
