My son studied in ESE from first grade to 5th grade at NE Roberts and his teachers were wonderful, especially Miss Graham and Miss Bruzek. Our daughter is now in 4th grade and has been in NE Roberts since Kindergarten. She has been a straight A student and scored a Level 5 on both FSA tests in 3rd grade. Her teachers have been great so far.

If I could give this school 0 stars I would. I have never in my life had to experience such unprofessionalism from the teachers, office staff, and even the principal. My child was being bullied, and when I confronted the teachers and staff, the teacher intimidated him and embarrassed him as well. So I went to the principal Mr Warren, who conducted an "investigation" or lack there of. Nothing was done, my child hates to go to school now and all I am being told is that "school is almost over so what are they supposed to do about it now". In this day in age, children react way differently to bullying and nothing ever seems to be done about it until its too late. Its a shame this school supports pathetic teachers who feel the need to use their power over the students and completely humiliate them. And the bully is given the excuse that he "has a bad home life".

The new principal is amazing and the teachers work hard to accommodate every child in every way that they can. Students can be a bit troublesome at times, but they work together as a community and stick together when it matters.

My 15 yr. old Daughter went to Roberts for kinder garden thru 5th grade, this was 10 yrs. ago and the school was fairly new. With the exception of her kinder garden teacher we had wonderful experiences, and I felt all of her teachers cared for her. My 7 yr. old son is currently in second grade there and I again feel blessed with the teachers he has had. His kinder garden teacher was amazing about working around his quirks and she looped with the class into first grade. His second grade teacher is turning out to be just as fantastic and I can see that my son is enjoying school more than ever before. Both of his teachers have always kept me informed as to his progress and respond very quickly to any questions or concerns I have had. Now for the school its self I wish they would be better at communicating with the parents and keeping the website updated, but that goes for all of the public schools in this county.

I have to kindly disagree with the recent reviews. This is my childs second year at this school and she is excelling wonderfully. U, nor my daughter, have ever encountered an instance of bullying. Although, I have no doubt it happens in every school. That being said, I do have some standing issues with this school. There still it's difficulty for students and parents to connect outside of the school setting, as they are unable to exchange numbers. And trying to find my childs classmates during school functions is next to impossible. Also, there needs to be better notification prior to what's happening in/outside of this school. I.e., picture day (with clarification if it is an elective or school photo.) Exhibits showcasing students' achievements. (We received our newsletter after the event had taken place) And lastly, I understand the need for fundraisers and my daughter does quite well in aiding in its cause. But, the prizes received are hardly worth the effort. (1 tee-shirt for selling 12+ subscriptions when only 2 are needed? And these requests for money is directed mainly to relatives There continues to be some difficulty in students/parents connecting

This school does not care about the students. My Kindergartener went to this school for 9 days and was bullied all of them. The admin and teacher did not take care of the issue so I removed him. In fact the A.P said things like "If these things are true" implying my child was lying. He made himself sick because he didn't want to go to school there. Staff is not friendly and kids are mean. They are not allowed to talk during lunch and only have recess 1 time a week. If there is a way not to put your child in this school I would advise not to

None of your "A great school has...." applies to this school. This school needs a compete AUDIT of it's faculty and guidelines.
