Rolling Hills Elementary School

Negative overall. I wanted to transfer my son to a new school but I was give reassurances that he would get the support he needs and me and his father are just holding out to get a new teacher next year...there are only a few weeks left so we are hoping for the best.

our daughter spent 2 years here. She is in multiage class. In those 2 years, a principle was gone her her teacher was gone during 1st semester, because parents are so mean and involve too much. The school work are so easy and really unmotivated.

Over the past half dozen years I've seen a noticeable decline in all the ways that used to make Rolling Hills such a great place for students to learn and grow. The multi-age classrooms - which so many families on transfers seek out - seem to be pitted at odds with the traditional, one-grade level classrooms. It's a very "us versus them" mentality from both sides. There are lots of active parent volunteers on campus; usually this is a good thing for students, but there seems to be an increasing lynch mob phenomenon. Gossip spreads like wildfire, angry parents mention lawyers and lawsuits, and then poof!, a principal is gone or a teacher has resigned. I used to be very proud that my child attended Rolling Hills and would highly recommend the school, but not any more. At this point, I feel incredibly bad for the teachers that are stuck between school district officials who only care about how great their technology implementation looks and these domineering parents who feel they run the school.

Rolling Hills has by far some of the best teachers around! I was truly shocked to see they only rate 7. We transfer IN to Rolling Hills because of the fabulous programs. One of the few schools around that still thinks music, art, PE, and a library are an important in kids education.
