School Reviews
| 5 I was a student at Calvin Rodwell Elementary School last year. I am now a part of the 2016 alumni. I was the salutatorian. I would recommend this school because of its respectful students, most of the time, anyway. The school is immensely organized. I assume the Calvin Rodwell Elementary School is a pretty decent school. - Posted by Student/Alumni - aikca |
