I felt this school was a total waste of my money and was a most disappointing year for my g-son. My husband was extremely disappointed as well. Having attended catholic school growing up I never would have expected the disappointment I found existed at Rolling Hills.

AWESOME school and great value. This school got a bad reputation for many years as being exclusive to spanish speaking children only. The school certainly is no longer that way. It's a small school but is growing currently and will likely accelerate in numbers over the next two years due to several initiatives. It's a small school and that offers many advantages. The catholic values and teaching is effective and I can truly say I am very happy about that. You will be part of a small, tight knit community. My child was not always at this school, but has done well here, made many friends. The school has many mixers from festivals, dances, to fun athletic events where the kids play the coaches or the parents play against the kids. Many kids have an opportunity to play sports and complete in extra-curriculars. I recommend shadowing the school to check it out or just jumping in. I think the current principal was good and was a good role model and looked out for the kids, but I am very excited about the new leadership. Most schools have had decreases based on magnet and charter schools, however, this school has done great here and will likely double in size over the next 12 months!

I will not be back next year. I don't know how this school stays open.

Please be aware that this school has dropped in enrollment drastically because of so many issues such as academics, high teacher turnover, and bullying. There are so many other schools in the area both public and private that can meet your child’s needs.

Loving and caring environment. Excellent academic level.

Awesome, I think academics are very important but what matters most to me is that my boys grow out to be caring kind compassionate boys who really make a difference in this world by fulfilling Gods will for them in their life, and though they are taught this at home I love the fact all this is reinforced in RHCS

I have had three of my children graduate from this wonderful school. Everyone of them went on to perform at the top if their class in high school and in college. This school equips all students with the necessary knowledge, skills, abilities and confidence that enables them to OUTSHINE their peers in high school. It is a beautiful school with an enriching environment!

The amazing staff and families make this small school feel like home for my children. The teachers care about developing our children into productive, grounded members of society. The teachers and the administration take feedback and suggestions seriously.

We love Rolling Hills. My kids couldn’t be happier in this school. They have developed great life long friendships. Our community is very unique, we work hard and together to get things done and are always encouraging new families to join on fun activities to help provide a better school every day.

Rolling Hills has been the smartest decision for our family. We are actively involved in participation of family events and prayer. We appreciate the extra efforts of all educators and staff. From the organic lunches to one on one individualized time spent with students in all areas when necessary, is relevant in our decision to be part of this community. Character formation in all areas including sports is exceptional. Highly recommend!

Rolling Hills is an excellent overall school. It has a strong curriculum with teachers and administrators who truly care about your child. The PTC parent teacher council is wonderful as well as the school council.

I love it it’s a great school with caring people and a great curriculum. The principal it’s really involved with the kids. They make them feel they can achieve anything if they try their best.

Our experience at the school over the last three years (2015-2018) has been Exceptional! Our children are thriving at this school and we couldn’t be happier.

They need a principal that will do what's best for the school and not the pocket book. You need a business manager that has their degree in business mgmt and not just because their child goes to school there. You need teachers that will teach and not just tell at students for asking questions

We have just registered for the 2015-2016 school year and have secured our spot. In visiting Rolling hills I have been extremely pleased with the staff as well as the principal whom is heavily involved with there students and cares. The curriculium being fought is outstanding from what I could tell on my many visits. I'm proud and glad to be a part of the Rolling Hills family. We look forward to many more years to come as my child is in the lower school.

This is a Catholic elementary school with a really strong Catholic formation program, a challenging curriculum, an award-winning athletics program and many enrichment classes including art, music, Spanish, and P.E. It also is on the same campus as Antonian Middle School, which along with Antonian College Preparatory High School provides a seamless Catholic education for children from PreK-3 through 12th grade. There are lots of exciting and long term improvements being made to this school and I am very happy to see this important growth at our school. We have a stable administration, long-term teachers and a growing student population.

Children have attended 5+ years. Disagree with post regarding special educational opportunties. They have ESL and that is it. No programs for gifted or academically advanced kids but that is on par with most Catholic schools. Large population of Mexican nationals causes some problems mainly because there isn't much integration between local students and them. It makes it difficult for local kids to make friends as Mexican students stick together. School seriously lags other schools in technology (no website, no RenWeb for parents), no nurse, no counselor, and few to no clubs besides sports. Hopefully this will change as school grows. Current principal has done a lot for school. Not everyone likes him but we haven't had any issues mentioned with him. He has addressed concerns we had promptly and satisfactorily. We will be leaving school after current year due to some issues mentioned above. Good teachers, good academics, but for the price we pay we can find another school academically as strong with more to offer.
