These teachers should be empowering students and I haven't seen that yet. My daughter comes home…read moresad everyday because her teacher is a bully. The younger teachers have some type of power trip over the young children and it is sad. School should be fun. The kids should be excited to go to school. I would not recommend this school if you are new to the area.

I attended Rooney Ranch about 14 years ago myself, and had an amazing elementary experience. My…read moresiblings also now attend Rooney Ranch and the school itself is amazing. But the past couple years they have had issues with Mrs. Mikel. We have never had any issues with bullying, let alone any issues at all. They have been coming home mopey and rather sad most days because they feel bullied by their own teacher. It was hat day at school and Mrs. Mikel was giving the kids a treat for wearing hats and gave all the kids a treat accept my brother. I'm not sure if it was because his hat was from our church or what the case may be but that is one way to make a kid feel less than the others. He was so crushed that "Mrs. Mikel doesn't like him". And that's just one scenario of many. But being a teacher of such young kids, it's especially important to make them all feel valued, and that's not happening in her classroom whatsoever. I am not a person to complain but this is getting out of hand and it's effecting my brother at home now. Just think about how your actions affect the littles, you're supposed to be their safe space, not a place where they dread to be.

There wasn't any doubt that they all wanted to stay at Addenbrooke. I have kids who would do well anywhere and kids who need extra attention and motivation. This year, my son grew almost 3 grade levels in reading. He is now at grade level and ready for middle school. I cannot begin to tell you what this has done for his confidence and love for school. Teachers and admins are wonderful. Just the right amount of homework and I am continually amazed at the things they are learning.

Shaffer Elementary food is the best, because of their pizza, milk and snack. I like pizza because…read morethe crusts are so crunchy, another reason is because of the topping of the pizza. Each topping has a different taste, for example galaxy pizza. I like the milk for two reasons, the first reason is because, it is as fresh as a farm milk.The second reason is because, they always have a question on the cover, and you get to anwser it on a special website called trumoo.com. I like the snack for a reason, the reason is they let you buy Cheetos, Doritos.
