Great staff and administration. Both my children left Ross more then prepared for middle school.

This school is outstanding, from the principal down to the custodians. My daughter has attended for 2 yrs now and our second child will attend next year. I love how they include parents in everyting they do and keep us up to speed on our child's progress. I think anyone who complains about the teaching at Ross might need to spend more time with their own children and help them, instead of complain...everything starts at home.

This year my husband and I a "parenting" two of our grandchildren who's mom is undergoing economical hardships (the economy). The office staff at Ross Elementary has been "Exemplary" in our opinion. The assistance we received was above and beyond to insure that our grandson, Elijah would be placed. My grandchildren are new to the district so this transition is a difficult one, but I have had nothing but good encounters beginning with the office staff (Ms. Brenda), to the teachers, and the coaches. There are always challenges in any school setting. I have been impressed with this school district from start to enrollment. I applaud the professionalism and compassion that was extended to me. I feel confident that if I have problems I can get my issues addressed.

Very unfriendly enviroment. My children's first year in this school was very hostile and unwelcoming. Very stressful for the children who do not belong to the clique.

This school is the worst school my children have attended. The office staff is rude and condescending, this school also has a lack of discipline shown towards obvious juvenile delinquents. The curriculums are behind over states that we have been to and others where we have friends whose children are learning at a much higher level. I'm not sure how or why this school receives an 'Exemplary' rating when it clearly does not deserve it. There are so many ways in which this school can improve that it's just ridiculous. I'm looking forward to moving out of the boundary zone of this school.

I can't say enough good things about this school! The teachers are wonderful, and the entire staff from the time you walk in the front door are very helpful and approachable. We couldn't be happier that we moved to Ross!
