They are young and full of energy, ready to help the children become respectful, decent and intelligent human beings. What I like most about this school is that there has been a huge investment for this school, it's been completely redone and the school follows the policies and principals of a school that will excel your child into the next level of learning. Unlike public school which is too big for it's own good. Our children love this school. Most students who graduate from this school are accepted into great high schools. We are so glad we are at this school.

You will notice that the church and school staff work hand in hand to make sure that the children of the school receive a solid academic and religious education.

We are happy to part of this great community

I would give a BIG ZERO STAR if I could, worst school in the whole world, I still feel traumatized…read moreevery time that I remember how a Teacher assistant got to spanking my child not only once but TWICE, YES you read well, first and second day of school, and also the TEACHER allowed her to do it, my son was just 4 years old, he wasn't without me until that day, of course that he was going to cry like all the kids even before to get into the classroom, it really broke my heart when I saw my son's beautiful eyes sad and with sígnala of being crying the whole day and telling me that those devils were hitting his head and spanking him... we went with the principal to Express our concern and also to let him know that our son was not going back the next day, he basically suggested us that the incident was not true, by the way the secretary told us that our son once we left, he runaway crying for us... one more thing, by accident my son forgot his lunch pail in the classroom and I went back to get it, for my surprise the 2 teachers were having a "meeting" with other parents(moms) talking about my son! Besides my son was being bullying and being physically hurt, parents are bullied too if you don't get along with. If you would like to protect your children, don't even think about to send them to that horrible place, 2 days were enough for the worst nightmare EVER, after 6 years still affects me really bad, but until now I feel that I can talk about it, and if Mrs. STUMER( I'm not sure if I spelled her last name right) is still there I hope she reads this and let her know that kids tells everything!!!

I am not sure how I feel about the middle school and elementary being mixed together and being in an environment that's so diversed between all grades because elementary students shouldn't be involved with a "middle school environment" because they are going through changes and in my opinion elementary and middle school should be two different ecosystems because children shouldn't be envolved in a teenagers world like that,but again this is just my prospective.

As a parent of a current student I would highly recommend to try and enroll your child in this…read moreschool. This being a charter school it obviousness holds higher standards and has a stronger curriculum. The staff is wonderful and well versed in not just dealing with the children but with parents as well. When having to attend functions or having to deal with issues within their offices I am always made feel that my child is their priority. When a student attends a school the experience is completely involved on both the schools and parents end. This is the focus that Deaborn tries to achieve.

The staff is nice, but unfortunately, I cannot say the same about my overall experience with this…read moreschool. My daughters attended kindergarten here, and there was an incident involving a student exposing himself to other children. When I brought it to administration's attention, I was told that everyone already knew about it. What I found unacceptable was that parents were never notified. My daughter came home and immediately told me what had happened. Despite that, we decided to give the school another chance for first grade because my daughters had made friends there. We are only in the second week, and the school has already implemented a "closed campus" policy that prevents parents from walking their children in. My daughter was crying and nervous about going inside, so I wanted to walk her in and help her get to her line. Instead, the principal made me feel as though I was doing something wrong for simply trying to comfort my child. He said staff could walk her over. I understand the need for school policies, but I also think schools need to know when to prioritize the actual well-being and comfort of their students. It is frustrating to see such strict enforcement of a policy while more serious concerns have seemingly received far less attention. The priorities here are very disappointing, and unfortunately, I would not recommend this school.

My son started off at two pretty big daycares. I even enrolled him in a summer academic program at one of them before he started kinder. At kinder assessment, he knew barely anything. Other kids were already very advanced. If I were to do it over, I would have sent him here. I sent my daughter here and she is way more advanced than he was at her age. There are mostly Korean kids but that should not deter anyone from sending their kids if you want some academic help for your kids. There are many nonKoreans and nonAsians. I absolutely love sending my kids here so I dont have to help them in school as it can be time consuming and frustrating. My kids enjoy coming here. They have a cook on site who cooks delicious Korean and American food. My kids always rave about the food. Other places charge extra for lunch and it's not healthy and pretty gross. Not this place! Definitely recommend. Check them out!

Abusive, deceptive, and actually traumatizing. Believe the multiple 1 star reviews, because they…read moretrack & show that they've been doing this for years/continue to do this. If you care about your child, don't put them through this because they will remember. My husband went to this academy in the mid to late 2000s and he still remembers the abuse. I visited this yelp page after hearing his stories to see if his experience was unique and/or if they changed over time, but apparently not. I read the 1 star reviews with him to see if anything resonated and they all did. From calling kids "stupid" to physical abuse to their two-faced, cult-like behavior (evil to students/well behaved with parents), he remembers it all (even the styrofoam bowls and greasy seaweed soup!). Some of my husband's personal memories include teachers throwing things at students and punishing kids by tightly gripping their arms. He told me the principal was the head abuser (she's in one of the photos on this yelp). He told me it felt like the teachers were a part of the Stanford Prison Experiment. As a student, my husband was afraid of the teachers and absolutely hated being there. Even my in-law regrets taking my husband to this place. Without giving specifics, my in-law was given advice by the teacher to threaten my husband in order for him to do better academically. My in-law regrettably took their advice and this actually impacted the relationship between them and my husband. When my husband was an adult my in-law apologized and expressed they had regretted taking that advice for years. To me this showed that this place can have long lasting effects on your children and even the relationship you have with them (even into adulthood). If you take anything from this, it's that: 1. They are fake around parents/abuse kids behind closed doors 2. Their abuse will affect your child long term 3. You should believe the 1 star reviews 4. Their abuse may even affect yours and your child's relationship

Long time ago I was a member for years, at the bottom, on the verge of living out of my car so I sought help from my church RP and specifically Mike Yearly who turned his back on several of us, several families...all members. When I went to see him, it felt as if evil from him was trying to drill a hole in me via his eyes. When several asked if we could pitch a tent just for a few days there Yearly said no and then asked how we would tithe. I kept my faith and God blessed me abundantly...found a church a short time later that welcomed me with open arms and even offered me a place to live. My situation now is completely abundant buying my own house, in fact several. After all those years I thought to try RP again hoping, praying the evil had left...it had not. They have greeters that act as if it's a job or a chore to greet, not an honest emotion to love people, love God's children. Rocky Peak has become a mega-church jr. with all the ritual distance from it's members especially those who income is not adequate. After many years asking God's help with loving regardless I tried going back for a bit to see what the Spirit had to teach me thinking/praying maybe perspectives had changed, but it still felt like it wasn't my Father's house and not a place where His beloved children could run and jump and play. In one of my revisits a couple outside afterward even said they were leaving RP becuae their faces got tired of smiling. Yearly quipped several times to me on the side way back then he couldn't wait until his contract with the church was up. A pastor loves his flock regardless of their status and finds joy in being with them..this is NOT Rocky Peak or it's lead pastor.
