I feel like my fourth grader is in college. This is not how elementary should be. They spend way to much time on the computers. They are on them all day and a lot of grading errors occur because the computer is doing the work for the teachers. They are constantly taking away recess because the class gets punished as a whole. The communication is absolutely horrible between the school, teachers and parents. It’s like pulling teeth to try an get an answer from the teacher. Robert’s has been a very stressful experience I hope they can pull it together or we will have to leave.

We are counting the days until we are out. Malow and Ike are the lights at the end of the Roberts dark tunnel. The only reason I have it two stars instead of one is knowing the kids end up at great schools down the line.

As in any school experience, it is what you make of it. At Roberts the staff is respectful and supports the families of its community. An active PTO makes this school more than just a place to send your kids to learn, it adds to the overall wonderful experience for the whole family. Roberts has great activities for your children to be involved with here. Roberts Rooks is a highly respected Chess Club with over 100 members with many district and state awards and titles. Roberts has an active and well organized Cub Scout Pack that is visible in its community. Just to name a few. This school provides the means to have an excellent experience as your children learn from dedicated and professional educators.

I love this school. The teachers care about their kids and the new principal takes his time to get to know students and families. The other day the principal spent the day on the roof (it was 30 degrees) because he promised kids he would do that if they participated in a school event. The kids loved it.

This is the arm pit of Utica schools. Located right next to low income apts., this school provides Detroit type educational environment. Blue Ribbon standing means nothing when the programs, actives and level of participation are substandard. This can only mean that Utica School Direct knows the issues with the school and does not provide the correct funding. The only claim to fame at this school is the chess program. It has the large participation in the state, but this is most likely because of the lack of other program. Stay away from this school and drop your child off for the chess program if you are into chess.

I think this school is improving every year and looking foward to the new school year. I have been hearing many positive comments from parents and teachers over the summer.

I think anybody living in the area would be fortunate to get an education from the school

I'd send my child to private school rather than Roberts if I had the choice to make over again. Old materials, few books, limited supplies and no doors on any classrooms make learning tough for kids with the large classes in grades 1 through 6. There seem to be more than 30 kids per class. State test scores seem to be dropping and I not surprised since this school seems to resist change. Kids say that many teachers yell a lot.
