Having come from another local elementary school, we were pleased at the sense of community at Rosa Parks elementary. The school is very diverse which reflects our area as a whole. Would recommend this school to anyone who wants their child to have a strong educational foundation

After the attempted poisoning, I volunteered a few times at the school, so that I could see what actions were being taken. The main bullying student was still approaching my child, which caused me to intervene at least twice. Another time, I witnessed the teacher allowing the children to STILL work together. My child even asked her, “I thought we should be separated,” To which the teacher replied (in front of me), “Oh, I am sure you guys are grown enough to get along and can work it out.” Shocked, I asked the teacher why she would let them work together after the terrible year my child had been having. The teacher replied, “They seem to be getting along fine, and I would like to observe them to see how they do.” My child is not a science experiment! Safety is a serious issue and my child was not treated as such. Needless to say my child will NOT be returning to this school.

Poor = I found the work that teachers assign to be of low quality and boring. Books teachers read in class are of low literature quality. Students spend A LOT of time writing following a stab-me-in-the-eye-boring writing process. Behavior of many of the boys is jaw-dropping disrespectful. It is hard for teachers to teach 30 kids when 10 won't stop talking. Class sizes are a bit larger than other schools in the district. Staff turnover has been significant.

Love this school! Four of my kids have attended thus far and the staff has worked amazingly well with each. Love the arts program; I’ve not seen more confident elementary school students anywhere!

A wonderful community feel, many active families, a love for the arts, and a drive for academic excellence are well balanced at this school. Learning is fun with reading nights, international celebrations, science fairs, Math adventures, take action clubs, an outstanding drama/choir program, and so much more. The staff is communicative, caring, and motivating. It is a full school, but they manage it well.

My daughter started going to this school in the middle of the school year. She used to go to a low ranking school in Bellevue. I was scared if she will be able to catch up. Also, my fear was how the class teacher would work with her since she was joining in the middle of the year. To my surprise, the teacher not only embraced her well but also worked with my daughter as if she joined in the beginning of the school year. Also, my daughter started to love the school as she is getting the work for her caliber. There has not been a day when I've seen her not excited. I really appreciate the teachers and staff.

As a former student at this school, I can honestly say that Rosa Parks Elementary really is the best of the best when it comes to Public schools. The staff is friendly and helpful to everyone and they really care about the students here. The drama department is also fantastic. I came into the school as a very shy third grader the year it opened, and have now grown into a confident actress with good social skills. This school promotes good behavior that the students demonstrate every day. There is very minimal bully behavior because most of the students are really good kids. I cannot say enough about how great this school is, but if your child is having a hard time in their elementary school, please consider transferring here! :) I can almost assure you that they will love going to school and look forward to learning new things here!

Our sixth grader has been at Rosa Park since she started second grade (the year the school opened). We couldn't be happier with the school, especially since she was going to another school in the same district before Rosa Parks opened, and we can see the difference between a good school and a great school. The school puts an emphasis on the performing arts, which has helped our shy daughter develop into a confident, creative young woman. We often say that she is getting a private school education at a public school. We love Rosa Parks and will miss the school community when she moves on to junior high next year.
