My two kids have gone to Roosevelt since kindergarten. They are now in 6 and 4th grade. I have not had a problem with the school or any of the staff and my kids love going there. I highly recommend this school not only for the academics but also since they updated the ventilation system and it is a clean school.

Teachers in 19 States Allowed to Physically Punish Students
As of 2014, nineteen states still allow corporal punishment – spanking and paddling the most common choices – in their public schools. However, some argue that not only are these punishments physically harmful, they also are disproportionately administered to students of color. As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
