School Reviews
5 10/27/2023
After a rough kindergarten year in our neighborhood school, my child hated school. But ROCS has turned him around. He feels loved here and encouraged to be himself, even when it probably isn't convenient for his teachers. I love that they have 2 recesses every day, regardless of the weather, and I love that the kids here are still kid-like. They' 're messy and happy and playing hard every day. I also like how much emphasis they put on social and emotional learning. With very little use of screens, my kid actually knows how to use a dictionary and encyclopedia, instead of just Google and Youtube.
