We moved in last year, and our kid, Layana, is a special needs child. She went to 1st grade, and so far, after one year of schooling, she has improved a lot. We are satisfied the way school taking care of her.

The rockhill community is just amazing. The teacher, staff, student all come together to embody the rockhill strong mentality. Everyone I’ve met has loved being a part of this school, and we are so lucky to be raccoons.

My daughter is a second grader at Rockhill and has been there since kindergarten. She has had amazing teachers all the way through. Kindergarten started during the pandemic. Her teacher and paraprofessional were only in their second years, but handled the struggles of virtual learning and also readjusting to the classroom environment with grace and ease. First grade was a rough year due to a bully situation, but her teacher caught on quickly and handled it well. My daughter's second grade teacher absolutely incredible. She teaches the students to be thoughtful and supportive of others, and challenges them intellectually. Mrs Rivero and Mrs Corwin create a welcoming environment for all. The staff at Rockhill encourage kindness and respect between students and staff alike. The PTO is very active and hosts monthly activities for students, as well as monthly spirit stores, and student and staff appreciation.

We were alerted week 2 of 1st grade that our daughter was behind on reading. After a year we found out that they still had not made a plan to address it! We moved to a new school and my daughter was at a kindergarten reading level moving into 2nd grade! We have had to spend thousands on tutors.

The front office has zero courtesy when speaking to parents, dismissive of things going on outside the home, rude and unprofessional in most interactions. Teachers hit or miss. Some teachers seem not to understand their age group and what they are capable of (multiple teachers) while others are great. I feel like this school expects that everyone has an adult available at a moments notice to serve a needs at the school and demands the help without tact. No consideration for working families. Constantly asking for money from the parents.

I have worked with many of the kids there in an after school program and find the kids very respectful of eachother and the staff and teachers are very uplifting, encouraging,postive and helpful to the kids. I am very impressed with all I have come in contact with.

I have had two of my children attend RES after much research and have to say that the School has met my demands. Most of the teachers are personable and have left a positive impression. Both children continue to advance without a problem of bullying and enjoyed the advanced programs. I continue to recommend Stafford County Schools, but would like to see the retention of experienced teachers improve.

I have students who are in 5th, 3rd, and 2nd. I love the administration and teachers at this school. When Mrs. Rivero became principal, she has brought so many positive programs into the school that has increased student success and the positive school culture and climate! I love Rockhill Elementary School!

Both of my kids have attended this school and they love it! The office staff is not rude, they are just very strict and safety is a priority in this school. Teachers are amazing, I really don't have anything to bad to say about it! the rating says 7 but last year it went to a 9, the school has improved a lot.

As a former elementary school teacher, I can honestly say that I am impressed with this school and the staff. I could not be happier that my child attends kinder here. The office staff is very friendly, the school has a great PTO, the administration seems very involved and my duaghter's teacher and aide are amazing. There also is always parents volunteering for various things through out the school. You definitely get a sense of school pride and a warm leaning environment as you enter the hallways. My daughter absolutely loves going to school and is thriving academically!

I have 5 children. This was by far the worst elementary school any of my kids have ever been to. I recently pulled my 4th grader out and started homeschooling her. She was being treated bad by her peers and her self esteem was getting worse every week. Her teacher Mrs. Givler, was wonderful and tried helping with these issues, but it just wasn't enough for my daughter. The office staff was rude the majority of the time making it to where I didn't even want to have to deal with them face to face. My husband and I were shocked when we enrolled her how rude the staff was. On top of it, most of the time she felt as though she was in prison. Someone getting after a child for every little thing. The kids for the most part just seemed scared. This is no way for children to feel at school!! My daughter wouldn't even go to the school nurse if she felt sick because she was scared of her. We are military, so we have been to countless schools......by far the worst experience! I never would have thought I'd be homeschooling. My daughter is a new child now!

Two of my children currently attend Rockhill Elementary and have been at the school for the past 3 years. Overall I have been very pleased with the school and believe they are getting a good education. The teachers have been great and do a wonderful job. I do believe parent involvement is very important both at the school and at home for your child to be successful.

This is our second year at Rockhill. I continue to be impressed with the staff's level of dedication to the kids! The office staff is extremely professional and especially warm and friendly to all who come in. There are so many staff members that genuinely care about the success of my kids, it's unbelievable! Again this year, my kids have the most amazing teachers that seem to be a perfect fit for my kids. Now I see why many families flock to this paticular area of Stafford.
