Barbara B Rose Elementary School

We have been at Rose for 3 years now. My kids love it & so do I. Our Principal is very involved. There are many events where he reads to the students. I think that is great. Between 6 classes/teachers, we have never had more than 22 students in a class. The teachers have all been wonderful & good at communicating with parents. I highly recommend our school!

I have two children that have attended Rose since kindergarten. The experience has been fantastic. The teachers are great and very communicative with the parents. There are always opportunities to help out with the children and the education difficulty has been consistently at a higher level compared to nearby districts. The new principal is very hands on and seems to really care about the school and children very much. The diverse student body has opened up my children's eyes to other cultures. They have had friends from Japan, India, England, Canada, China, Greece, and Italy to name just a few. That alone is a valuable learning advantage. The test scores have been consistently good, as well. At Rose it is more than a school. It truly has been like an extended family.

This is our 1st year and we loved it. Teachers are great and the over crowding issue is overstated. I think it's about politics more than anything. The music programs seem to be very good due to the staff. The parent involvement it very good at least in 1st grade. Of course the parents that give their time are the same group of people. We need new parents to step up. The only negative I witnessed is this is not enough diversity even though there is a diverse group of families attending.

Great School academically. Very diverse population. There are programs for everyone! The principal is not very nice.
