We're only a couple of weeks into the near school year, but I'm pleased with what I am seeing. I like the way things are going at the school and the district as well.

My son has attended this school going on 3 yrs and we have had horrible experiences with some of the teachers and the disobedient students. Majority of the teachers are rude and scarcastic with the students and parents. I've witness a teacher tell a student that's a dumb question when that student asked a question she was unsure about something. That is not professional. That is discouraging for that student to want to approach that teacher again. Kids were laughing and that young girl felt embarrassed. I also myself asked a teacher of ways of communicating besides take home calendar sheets and her response was... You need to check your child's hand out that was sent home. Again unprofessional and rude. I've asked for additional assistance as far as extra copies of paper and was advice that it would inconvience her if she honored that request. At that point I'm ticked. All concerns has been address with the schools officials but no changes has been seen. Some are there just for a paycheck and to them it's just a job not a career. With that being said, my child will not be returning back to this school and will experience a more diverse environment with a better learning environment. Nothing is perfect but you can always find something better. Do not send your child to this school.

This is our third year at Rosa Parks Millbrook Elementary. The staff and teachers are doing a great job. They really care about the kids.

My daughter has attended this school for the three years and all of her teachers were terrific. In the few negative parent reviews, blanket generalizations were made against all teachers at this school and that is a totally unfair characterization. None of my daughter's teachers had a 'chip on their shoulder' or regularly screamed at students, they were hard-working educators truly dedicated to their jobs. As a very involved parent, I've witnessed this firsthand.

Very unhappy with this school. Our daughter absolutely loved school before attending Rosa Parks. Unprofessional across the board. If you're fine with screaming teachers that have a chip on their shoulder then this is the school for you. My daughter begged to be withdrawn this year and that's exactly what we'll be doing.

I have two children attending this school and it is wonderful. The teachers are great. There neighborhoods served by RPM strongly support the school. I have never heard anything negative from any of the parents in my neighborhood who also have children enrolled there.

I THOUGHT THIS SCHOOL WAS GOING TO BE PERFECT FOR MY CHILDREN. AS TIME HAS PROGRESSED THIS SCHOOL IS THE WORST IM LANCASTER. I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ALL TEACHERS BUT THE ONE'S MY CHILDREN HAVE ARE NON TRAINED, DISRESPECTFUL AND DO NOT CARE IF YOUR CHILD PASSES OR NOT. THEY HATE CHILDREN AND ARE ONLY THEIR FOR A PAYCHECK. THIS WILL STOP. IF I HAVE TO GO TO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION I WILL. IF YOU DON'T LIKE CHILDREN YOU NEED TO PICK ANOTHER CAREER. IT'S SO SAD HOW TEACHERS GO IN AND GET A PAYCHECK AND ITS NOT COMING FROM THE HEART. THAT'S WHY SOME CHILDREN GET DISCOURAGED..... I REFUSE TO LET MINE GET LIKE THAT. I TELL MY CHILDREN EVERYDAY BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE AND LEARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHILE AT SCHOOL AND I , AS A PARENT WILL TEACH YOU THE REST. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS POST. I RATE THIS SCHOOL -0... FAIL....

Great school. I was very pleased with the level of commitment to educating the students the faculty displayed. My daughter was always encouraged to perform at her best.
