Rock Cut Elementary School

Overall we have been pleased with Rock Cut. All of the teachers have been wonderful. Our daughter struggles with some math, her current teacher stays after school with her one day a week to help tutor her. That goes above and beyond. The school could take care of the grounds a little better, overgrown bushes in the front of the school makes the school look run down. They do a lot of family involved activities, a good sense of community.

Supposedly Rock Cut is one of the better elementary schools in the Harlem school district. Unfortunately, that doesn't say much anymore. The school itself is quite rundown and not as clean as it should be. The current principal is retiring and we have yet to hear who the new principal will be for the 2010-2011 school year. The majority of teachers do a good job educating the students, but some need to be more patient with the students. The school has a high low income percentage for the Harlem school district and from what it sounds like in my child's classroom, many students don't pass weekly tests. Of course, the parents need to step it up and push their children to do better. It seems that the parent involvement is lacking in regard to education and in the area of extra cirricular activities.
