Mel And Zora Rashkis Elementary School

This school is wonderful, the best we've been to. The teachers are amazing, and encourage creativity and a love of learning. We are so glad for our time spent here. The only downside is the district zones your kids far away from their neighborhood. Our apartment is zoned for a school 13 minutes away, even though there is a school walking distance away. It has caused a lot of suffering actually. I ended up getting plantar fasciitis from driving so much, and so my daughter had to catch the bus. On Friday she got punched on the bus. So now I don't know what I'm going to do. The bus is awful. Kids climb under the chairs and punch other kids on the butt and steal their stuff. It is just a nightmare, not to mention the driver can't pay attention to the road because the kids are all playing their recorders, fighting, and screaming. It is so dangerous, and the fumes are just awful from the old, old buses too. It is ridiculous to zone kids away from their house. Causes so much inconvenience to parents, and so much pollution and traffic with thousands of parents driving around. I chose Chapel Hill over Cary because I'd read that Cary buses kids out of their neighborhood, but it turns out that Chapel Hill is the same.

Bad. All the school care is about the score. Lack of managemnt and policy. The school/teachers didn't creative a respectful, joyful enviroment for kids to study and grow. The building is the best part of the school. The inside need a lot work! As elementary kids, their emotions are developing, a friendly supportive school is so important for them. Definetly Rashkis couldn't offer.

Loved our experience at Rashkis. Two kids there, one of which at Middle school doing great!

This is a wonderful school with VERY bright kids. I have 2 children that attended this school through 2013 and have been very pleased.
