This school is a mess. Teachers are not supported and many yell. The yelling is destructive to the students' sense of worth and ability. I know too many kids who come home defeated from this school. I immediately pulled one when I realized the severity of the situation there. The general aids yell as well and bullying is not dealt with on the playground. There are some really great teachers, but unfortunately they are a minority. I would not recommended this school. Hopefully they get some help and guidance! The kids there have great potential which is not being reached!

My oldest child attended Roadrunner from kinder through sixth grade. His needs were more than met throughout his elementary school years. He was a high student in all subject areas and he was not only taught the standards, but he was also challenged on a daily basis. The Roadrunner teachers that my children have had have been ready to communicate with me and to include me in their classrooms. The main issue that I have seen at Roadrunner over the years is a lack of parental involvement. Parents should spend more time volunteering and being active participants in their childrens' learning to work to make the school all that it can be.

We love this school. I have 2 sons in attendance there and my husband and I could not be more please with the teachers and staff of Roadrunner. In particular, I would like to mention the 6th grade teaching team. On many occasions I have witnessed them staying late or coming in early, on their own time, to help a struggling student. They are very aware of the different learning needs of each student and teach to their individual strengths. The care and dedication they show for the children of this community is commendable. They set the bar high then provide the students with tool necessary to succeed. Thank you.

The teachers here are awesome! My son was having a difficult time turning in homework and completing assignments at the beginning of the year and his grades were suffering as a result. The 6th grade teachers sat down with us and made several recommendations to help him. After reading a great book they gave my son and I (The Organized Student), he was able to find a way of organizing his work that worked best for him. He has brought all of his grades up and knows exactly where to find everything he needs. Thanks ladies!

If you truly mean a shy kid who wants to be outgoing, then I would help them interact with one child at a time. If you are talking about an introverted child, refer to http://www.carlkingdom.com/10-myths-about-introverts

Find something you are good at or enjoy doing a lot, just one thing. You'll gain confidence and meet other kids that enjoy that activity too. Mine was singing in choir. I wasn't good at anything else but that built my confidence for other things... More »
