Roosevelt Middle School

I walked into Roosevelt as a sixth grader and walked out! My parents saw first hand at what was happening at Roosevelt and I was transfered completely out of Bellwood! I always felt sorry for my friends who had to go to that school,so glad I never went back! I am forever grateful for my parents doing that!

I am a proud parent of Meca School graduates. My children excelled in high school and earned academic scholarships to college. Not only did Meca instill quality education but Christian characteristics they hold dear in their hearts. They treasure every moment and the days they walked the halls of Meca School. They thank God every day for the education they received and the teachers they had at Meca. While walking the halls of a public high school and college, they had to reflect on how to handle certain situatations. NO, we are not perfect but strive for perfection in God. You would never find a greater school than Meca who cares and nuture children God's way.

rms is an okay school.I wouldnt say its the best but,its not the worst.Even though the school has a lot of temptation its not all the teachers fought.The students give the teachers a hard time and the students should know that if the werent doing something they werent suppose to do they wouldnt have any reason to get suspended.overall rms is a good school and it is a challenge....and it will challenge you!

I am a proud Alumni of Roosevelt Middle School. I am the Queen of the first graduating class of the 'new roosevelt'. there is nothing wrong with the school. the teachsers are there the staff is their. Student 's that are out of control and do not have a desire to learn, they will not function properly at any institution! parents need to step up and take actoion teach your child right from wrong. These things should be taught and understood by the time a child reaches eight years of age. I am a Proud product of dist.88. from k-8 grade. Mr. Mark Holder, Ms. S. Kilgore, Mr. Myers, Mrs. Dixion, Mrs. Jordan, Mrs. Leaf. Mr. peterson, Mr. rosko, these are some of the great influences that are particially responsible for me being at a University right now! thank you! RMS Queen Class of 2004

I don't blame the staff completely for student's behaviors. The parents need to truly care for their children and instill respect and responsiblity in their homes first, schools are not there to teach behavior, children should come with the basics already, respect, responsiblity, and the desire to learn. If the children are out of control, then you have to take drastic measures to try to control them. They are being asked to work miracles with children who do not have support at home. How do you expect success when you have no support at home?

Hot Warning! Please do not send your child(ren) to this school(zoo). RMS is a hostile environment. Therefore, you can't expect the children to learn. The whole school district needs to be re-evaluated. The staff don't have the motivation or patience to teach. The community needs to stop being so lazy & demand more for the schools. The school is ran like a juvenile center for bad kids. I think it's a shame non of the schools in the area are meeting state level academically.

My son is a 6th grader. Since the beginning of the year I have not experienced anything negative only positive. That positivity started at the back to school rally at the park. Mr. Holden was, and still is, very personable as well as his staff. He has always been will to stop and discuss my son's progress even if I didn't have an appointment. The teachers I've met have been very courteous and concerned. They do not hesitate to call nor speak to me concerning my son's well-being. My son has maintained Principal Honor Roll since the beginning of the year with straight A's. I say 'kudos' to Mr. Holden and his staff. With sincere parental support and involvement, RMS can be nothing but successful but it all starts at home. Proper discipline (homework, self-esteem, etc.) makes the teacher's job easier to better educate our children.
