It is very difficult if your child does not fit the "mold". Diversity isn't celebrating but rather discouraged. There is very little inclusivity if your child does not fit the box. They tend to call out rather than in and have a shame based disciplinary structure. There are a lot of scholastic gaps as well.

Downside of this is that it's 95% blacktop with very little green space and/or tree cover * Tasteful black chain link fencing surrounds the entire area, making it more secure for slippery tots * No dogs allowed

We were drawn to the school because of their small class sizes, strong academic curriculum, and beautiful facility. We have stayed at Rowland Hall because of their amazing teaching staff, the school's constant efforts to strengthen the student learning experience, and the wonderful inclusive community. One of the many strengths of the school is their amazing faculty. I'm always amazed by how well they know each child, but also how well they bring out the best in each individual. I feel like the school does a great job in building individuals who are strong critical thinkers, but also individuals who love to learn. My children LOVE going to school at Rowland Hall and as a parent, I feel that this school is the best investment and best fit for our children.

A lot of this rating has to do with the former principal, who is now thankfully put to pasture somewhere and who shepherded that whole "take the kids lunch away and throw it in the trash in front of them" thing...look up the news stories on that one if you're not familiar. Without getting into details, that was one of many examples of the notoriously disgraceful mannerisms of that particular individual and it colored (negatively) the entire school. Front office staff is also atrociously offensive and though this may (and hopefully will) change in the future, this is also one of the greediest schools I've ever had the misfortune of observing. This is also one of the busier schools and if your child is well acclimated to institutions, they will stand a much better chance. If they're not or if they need some extra attention, this is not even remotely a good choice and almost certainly they will not enjoy their time there. The school reminds me a lot of the school portrayed in the Pink Floyd's The Wall movie, as far as what they ideally seem to want from the children. Individualistic behavior does not appear to either be wanted or encouraged. There do seem to be some teachers who care and who are invested in the kids, but they seem frequently overburdened, so time will forever be at a premium to them and that probably explains why there is such a heavy parental assistant load (far more than I've seen elsewhere) present here. There are a myriad of educational "styles", of course, but this one does not seem to be built for any of the student's education, confidence or success...

Glad I made the final decision to have my child attend this elementary. The teachers are amazing as I have met and know them first hand and have witnessed them spending their time individually with each student as if it were their own child. I love that I am able to help out with any school activities as well for my own child's classroom. The PTA is awesome here! I love the "no-bully" rule at this elementary, it definitely helps with all children's behavior anywhere on campus. I love this school so much that I make sure to donate to the school, class room, events, etc. I enjoy knowing that they have plenty of supplies for all of the students, not just 1-10, lets share and make it 1-800.

I noted that the staff was likely underpaid and treated poorly. I also felt that although most of the staff cared for the children, the owner was less focused on the happiness of the teachers, parents and students, and more on how much money she was raking in. During the COVID shutdown, we pulled our child out temporarily, and paid the amount asked to hold our spot for our return. We were never contacted or questioned after that and when we brought him back, we were told that he didn't have a spot in their school because we didn't "complete the SECOND survey they emailed out, asking what our decision on return was" -even though we had already paid to hold his spot. Ultimately, after feeling unappreciated and unhappy overall, we pulled him out. Thinking we would get our money back was apparently giving the owner of this school too much credit, because she refused and said that was our choice to pull him out. I feel as though she's taken this daycare in a distasteful direction and I would be cautious when considering it for your child.

You've found your sanctuary in the Childtime preschools. The administration would rather send those pesky rule-abiding, gentle (read: wimpy) kids away than ask you to actually parent your villain. Boys are taught at this young and impressionable age that girls should be bit if they stand up for themselves, and that it's better to touch first and ask forgiveness never.
