Rock springs elementary is an amazing school!! I know our test scores may not look so good but the staff and teachers at RSE work so hard everyday to teach our students and set them for success in the world. I have had the pleasure of working closely with my daughters teachers that she's had and I can't say anything negitive about them or the school..if your thinking about taking your child there I definitely would recommend it. The whole staff in the office is so sweet and nice and always helpful. Plus I love that if you have any issues with anything you can always talk with either there teacher, principal, vice principal, just about anyone and they will do anything and everything to make sure your child feels safe, important, has a great academic studies, or just wanna check on your child or if you have a issue with something.. communication is key!! Definitely give them a chance Mr. Brunse our principal works so hard everyday to get us back on top again and get our test score better: ) my child loves going to school everyday.. .and also with the staff again they take the time to know each student and there parents it's an AMAZING School... did I mention that? Lol '?
