School highlights:
Round Top is a wonderful school, and children excel here. RTE has an excellent faculty and staff, a very involved PTO, and caring parents. Parents are always encouraged to visit, volunteer, and address any questions or concerns. We have counted ourselves lucky to be a part of the Round Top community!
My experience at Round Top Elementary School was wonderful! I attended RTE in grades 2-5 after transferring from another top notch school, Lake Carolina Elementary. I can tell you that the Faculty & Staff are very happy teaching here because their teacher retention rate is very high! I sometimes visit and many of my teachers are still teaching there! The teachers I had were nice, friendly, and wanted you to learn. One of the top attractions of this school is their Related Arts Program (PE, Art, Music, Computers, & Dance) which are great! You couldn't have not asked for a better school. Recently, the school implemented the ITI program which instills Life Skills and Lifelong Guidelines in the students. The school also offers an ITEC Class which is taught by Ms. Kathy Lindsey who is a sweetheart and who is dedicated to learning. ITEC is a class where 1:1 computing is initiated and students use computers rather than pencil and paper. What a great School!
This school is different from the standard elementary school. The environment is loving, inviting, and welcoming. Everyone from the janitors to the administrators go out of their way to say hello. Parents are encouraged to be at the school during the day to have lunch with their child, volunteer, read to their child's class, etc. Kids have many opportunities to be involved with extracurricular activities. Most importantly, the teachers are accessable. Questions and concerns are always addressed. When we were moving, we took our time to research and find the perfect school to choose our neighborhood. We have no doubt Round Top has instilled qualities for our children to be successful in middle school, high school, and college.

My daughter is currently attending Round Top Elementary,This year we transfered her from another school in the district and I must say that RTE is truly an outstanding school. Great leadership,Great teachers. A very organized school. Could not be happier!
RTE is the best school in the area. I have visited other elementary schools in the area and they are not on the same level. RTE's staff, facualty, and more importantly TEACHERs are top notch. I currently have two children that attend RTE and chose my location solely on them attending RTE after visiting the area elementary schools (need I say more?).
All four of my kids are attending or have attended Round Top and I can't speak highly enough of this school. We love it.
We have also attended Lake Carolina and I can assure you that RTE is the best school in the district! Ms. Tucker creates an environment that not only benefits the students but the staff love to work there and it is obvious when you first step in the school! We have outstanding teachers that really want to make an impact on our children!
The teaching staff is so caring and nurturing and genuinely care if your child succeeds. Mrs. Tucker knows what she is doing and runs a top notch school!!
Round Top has a lot to offer. The Related Arts programs are stellar. The teacher/student ratios are very balanced. The school does a lot to embrace its diverse community. The lifeskills and lifelong guidelines the school shares are wonderful tools to help build productive, responsible citizens.
