Just new to the area from florida and teacher said my daughter was not following basic curriculum in front of my daughter and me, and she explained, we all know florida doesn't have good schools. Well she was on gifted program in FL and here not following basic curriculum? we is her support into new transplant into the area? did she ever study psychology? I don't think she knows what it means time to adapt or adaptation. How can a school in florida rates 10/10 and rosa lee is 7/10 and be better? I do believe school has good teachers and I firm believer that we should change teachers if we want. She did suggest all professionals in Florida were not truthful with my daughter. we got her on extra classes outside school and she is doing great, with a great teacher.

The teachers did a phenomenal job with my son, who has learning differences. From kindergarten to 5th grade his teachers were awesome. My son is now in 6th grade, in all honor classes and a straight A student. There were a lot of struggles for him, but each teacher and the administration worked diligently with me to figure out what learning style worked best for him.

My kids have moved around a great deal. Thus, they were behind thier peers and shy. This school not only in a year have taken their learning to new levels, but brought them out of t hier shells and they have made wonderful friends. The staff is friendly and hardworking, I would not want to move my kids anywhere else.

My kids have been going to this school since we moved to the area. Our kids previously went to private school. Ms. Hines is fantastic. We couldn't be happier with the teacher interaction, community support, and quality of education.

Any negative review prior to 2013 is not reflective to how the school is now. The new administration is forward-thinking, innovative, responsive, caring, and top-notch. This school had the best test scores in the entire county last year and is regarded as the top elementary school by the school board. Each teacher is highly-trained and implements effective, engaging, higher-order thinking, project-based learning. I have never been more impressed by a school. I know that many people complained about the bus/car line situation, but that is not within the school's control. When the county took away buses from schools that had houses within walking distance, the staff at RLC campaigned to have them returned. The staff works in the car line every day to make sure that each kid get's home safely now that they lost the extra buses. They have done everything within their power to make transportation easy for parents, but anything bus-related is out of their control.You will NOT be disappointed by RLC. If anything ever comes up, just email the teacher and it will be resolved immediately. What a school!

Dropping off and picking up kids is a big challenge. They don't have enough school buses so most kids either have to walk or get a ride from parents. You can't even park near the school to pick up kids. You literally have to walk from your home to pick up your kids. If you want to bring a car to pick up your kid, expect to wait in car for at least 30 min. Rosa Lee is also right next to a High School. These two schools create big traffic in the morning and afternoon.

We love Rosa Lee Carter and will stay in this area of Ashburn for as long as our children are in Elementary school! Principal Ms. Hines is just amazing and our daughter's kindergarten teacher Mrd. Peng has made the entire year so much fun and our daughter has learned so much. We are almost sad the Summer is here!

We are SO excited for the Rosa Lee Carter school community as they just (last week!) received the Academic Excellence Award for the second year in a row! So exciting! The administration has been very attentive to any student or family concerns and for that we are thankful.We can't wait to return next year to see all of the wonderful things Rosa Lee Carter will be doing!

Just check the demographic/diversity before enrolling your child. It was very difficult for my daughter to find and make friends, as other cultures did not embrace her due to her Caucasian ethnicity. She is a clear minority in her class, and is at an age where she recognizes it. We are now moving to another school district with more diversity.

Our child transferred in mid-year and his teacher and the administration went above and beyond to assist in his transition. The class sizes are larger than we hoped they would be but we always felt like our child received the attention and supported he needed. The administration is consistently responsive and wants to work cooperatively with us to provide our child with a positive school experience.

We are very happy with the school although we only started 1 year ago. Compare from Maryland public and some private schools, RLC exceeded our expectations.

Although the school is good, I am a bit depressed about the way students are handled during pickup at morning. There are no rules (K first etc) or anyone comes at anytime and stands anywhere in the queue. I am writing this because, my kid was pushed back from the queue and other kid went ahead. There was no student patrol. In fact friends of student partroling kids come after maybe 15 kids but go in bus with them before even all other kids who have come before them. I would strongly suggest to mentor Patrol to observe discipline during getting on the bus.

Great school which does everything well. The teachers are great and hardworking. The only thing that takes away from this is lack of competitive activities and fun options.
