Rummel Creek Elementary School

My daughter was in kindergarten this year. When we were looking at schools last year, one of the parents said, "it's like sending your kid to private school, but for free!" I'm happy to report that parent was right. It's been a great experience for our family.

I have two children at RCE. It's not just that the parent involvement is amazing or that the teachers seem to genuinely care, it's that I've heard so little about conflict between parents and/or teachers. The teachers and support staff know my name and take time to speak with me - it's never a bother. The quality is higher than many private schools we looked at. I had to spend a little extra to get into this neighborhood, but it was the best investment I've ever made.

We simply L O V E Rummel Creek! Our daughter has been there for 2 years now. Teachers are great. PTA is extremely active and resources are awesome! Parents and teachers are committed to a high level of education. My daughter proudly repeats she is 'in the best school ever'.

Our son has gone here for three years. His teachers have all been very qualified and very involved. The school's budget and resources are enhanced by fund-raising efforts and lots of volunteers. The PTA is very active and works on getting a lot of parent involvement and parent helpers. This school also has a strong special ed program with low student-instructor ratios.

We have only been at RCE for one year, but have been pleased with the school. It is a place where everyone knows my childrens' names and has taken an interest in them. The school nurse is outstanding and does a great job working with children with special needs. She has been a wonderful source of information. The teachers in each grade level are all on the same page and have a consistant lesson plan for all the students. The school work is challenging but not inappropriate for the age. RCE has been a good experience for us.

I think Rummel Creek is a great place for your kid to start their journey. The principal & the teachers are wonderful! I would truly recommend this school to anyone that is in the district if they are not their already.

My child has been at RCE for 3 yrs, going on her 4th year. The school seems to have progressively gone downhill over the past 3 years perhaps due to a principal change. A lot of good teachers lost since 2002. 4th grade seeems weak in challenges (very little homework)compared to 3rd and 4th grades.

RC has a strong PTA which raises significant funds to invest in the school. Parent involvement is high. A fee based after school program allows working parents to have a safe environment for their children after class. The after school program is staffed by teachers at the school.

Rummel Creek's greatest strengths are its hard-working dedicated teachers and committed traditional families. The PTA constantly wins awards for high parent volunteerism. The students are disciplined and desire to learn. In my opinion, it is an excellent school!
