Maria L. Varisco-Rogers Charter School

I currently go to this school for 7th grade.I can defiently say that this school is awesome.Great teachers,and it has been improving since I started in 4th grade.The teaches are always so involved.I recommend you to send your child to this school.

I am very pleased with this school. My daughter is in the 2nd grade and her grades have improved. She loves going to school. She has homework every night and always bring all her work to the house that shows that she is busy learning.

I would have to say this has been a great school for my kids. I have 2 that are currently enrolled and one that will attend 1st grade in September. The teachers have always showed great interest in my children s education. Also the staff has always been able to answer any questions I have. I am looking forward to see what the next schools have to bring. I would recommend this school to any parents who are looking for their children to be successful.

My son attended Maria Varisco during 2009-2010 calendar yea . His progerss was noticed. Teachers and staff have done an excellent job. They teached students, take their time with the childrens, if they noticed lack of improvement in the child they reached out to the parents. I believe that is very important in the progress of the child therefore we cannot pretend that teachers have to do everything for the child to learned as parents we need to build a relationship with the teachers to help them improve. I am very happy with this school they make you feel like part of their family.

I have been involved witht he school for many years. I love the involvement by teachers and staff. The small classrooms and the school leadership makes the environment more like a home.

It seems that the politics of the main office and staff could be holding this school back. It has potential but with the, for lack of a better term, 'inbreeding' of the admin- it is not a productive atmosphere. There is always 'someone related to' or a 'friend of' who is intertwined in the goings on of the day to day routine that can bring this administration down. 'He Said, She Said' is a common way of making deciions it seems. I would rather my child be in an enviornment where teachers, students and other workers are judged on their actual abilities, both pro's and con's, than the hearsay of the friends and relatives of the office staff.

i have two children in the school and have been blessed with them having wonderful teachers. the school may not have a lot of 'extras' but the education and small classes make it a great choice for my kids.

I currently have my child attending this school and i was surprised and dissappointed when her complaints about bullies was not handled. I am still having trouble getting the school to do something about this! they claim to have a no tolerance policy but nothing has been done just because they cannot reach the parents! it is ridiculous!

i went to this school for two years and graduated from it. just to let you know this is an awesome school that can pay close attention to every kids need because we are such a small school. my best experiences happened in that school. the teachers are great, the academics is wonderful, i cant think of a better school to send your kids and i am one. they really challenge you in that school but you also learn in a fun way and a way that you can understand. that school is learning and having fun at the same time!

I have to say that my expierence with this school has been POSITIVE, my son attended McKinley and his grades were not good- I have noticed a big improvement in my sons interest for school since he has been attending Maria L. Varisco and I would like to thank the teachers for that change in my son-
