My child is in the first grade this year, and already we have heard nothing but great things! The teachers work hard to communicate with the parents about progress as well as any problems. I appreciate all their hard work!

As a former Student of Red Rock I would give it an A+ because it has taught me a lot of things when I was going and as a parent who has three kids going to school here now I know it is teaching them a lot as well. The children look up to there teachers not just as a role models but as a mentor as well as the Principal too. I think they all have done excellent jobs in teaching our children and they ought to be rewarded for that.

All three of my children have attended Red Rock Elementary. All three have positive responses to thier elementary years. Even though not all their school years were with the current principal, Theresa Eilers, She has been a great asset to the school. The staff are generally pleasent and make it easy to come in and volunteer.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Washington used the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 4 and 7, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The MSP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
