My children LOVE this school – from the teachers to the students to the challenging curriculum. Rosa Park's integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons.Though it is a small school, it allows for a lower student to teacher ratio, giving children more confidence when asking questions, engage in group activities, and opportunities for one-on-one time with the teachers.Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within your child – their good behaviors and achievements; and they know the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise, and do it in a very respectful, approachable manner. To notch administrative leadership

I substitute taught at this school. Let me tell you, subbing is better than any school tour for seeing how a school culture really operates. Every teacher smiled and showed genuine comeraderie and support for me, the new neighbor. The students in the second grade were more self-disciplined than almost any I had ever witnessed. The kindness levels were off the charts. My heart was absolutely full and overflowing after leaving for the day. Someone said in passing that the school has a bad reputation. I looked it up on here on “great schools”… Wow— no one is describing the school that I witnessed. Please a second look before dismissing Rosa Parks!

From a student[becoming an 8th grader this year 2014-15] This school is improving, rebuilding, and changing. It's kind of ghetto, not a lot 'cause of the generation. The teachers&staff are kind, strict, stupid, fun, mean, serious, etc. We all feel/know how teachers&staff are. Now, the students, they're unique and talented. Some are mature or some are still there or just careless. Their are not a lot of troublemakers, just not as you think. Some blame because of teachers/staff. Some because of the students, them selves. About the school neighborhood, its okayish. There's noises and stuff, and it's changing. I live near so I know. PS. I hate this school, but I'm forcing myself that i have to like it and a school is just a school. Just need to pass this grade and high school here I come! There's more to tell, but I'm too lazy. |Trust my review.|

looking for rosa parks k-8? yeah, good luck finding any updated information since mark hopkins elementary merged with rosa parks middle school. this school is horrible. simply horrible. there is very little education going on when most of class time is spent disciplining students who have no idea how to act in a classroom setting (which, unfortunately, is 90% of the students that attend this school). if you value your child's education, this is definitely not the institution to place them in.

This school reflects the neighborhood. I wouldn't want to live there, and I wouldn't want my kids to attend school here. Schools in this area simply pass along the students. There is no education for the majority of students... and it doesn't matter if they fail all of their classes... they are still passed along to the next grade. Near 50% of students read consistently between a second and third grade level.
