I would not recommend this school. Horrible all around… has some great teachers and staff but not worth it. Too many issues with bullying not just form kids from staff as well .

If I could do “0” stars I would… they do not care about the kids not the parents or staff. They are skating by to the next grade and it does not get any better at sterling middle school or parkview high school. But the kids are initially being left behind at rolling ridge it’s a tittle 1 school and very well funded but I wonder where that goes(?) not the school building or children that go there. The principal is a clown, she should let the vice principal run the school she seems better fit. The front office acts as if they are inconvenienced by all. It only has a few ( like 4 or 5 good teacher/staff) as mentioned below. I had children in different grades and again the bullying is not properly dealt with. Even the food served there paying or free is truly horrible, I have had my kids beg me to pack lunch.

This school is incredible. I love how the whole staff cares deeply about each and every child. I have a child with a disability and his SPED teachers were incredible. They truly helped my child cope with his disability and is a much better person because of his time there. Thank you so much to the staff at Rolling Ridge.

I believe this school is a hidden gem. When I first came to Loudoun, 10 years ago, it was rated a 4 and when I attended my first PTA meeting I asked the principals. "How can this school be rated so low?" The population is transient, but these kids are nurtured so much in this beautiful, caring place. I have to say, parents need to be more pro-active. Teachers cannot do this work alone and a lot of the enrichment activities are all parent-led.

I've been under impressed with the way the school is ran. We transferred from Fairfax County and I have felt the guilt ever since. The lack of communication between teacher and parent is crazy, you have to beg for it. The previous AP was a nightmare and they have resolved that issue. There is very little for the parents to come and see their children do things, like plays and concerts. No daddy daughter dances. Everything the PTA does is outside of the school. I have fought tirelessly for my child's IEP for the team to constantly look at me for ideas.

Great school. Recently had Principal of the year for Loudoun and now this past year Teacher of the year. Parent volunteers as well as the community organizations are so active.

I have nothing but great things to say about the school, the staff, and the leadership at Rolling Ridge. They are very proactive to helping the students learn, address struggles, and form a parent/teacher relationship that is vital to the success of the kids. I applaud this school and the staff and especially the leadership for inspiring and motivating the children daily.

I'll be honest, I had my hesitations based on the rating. I then decided to visit the school and I'm so glad I did. My first impression was very good. The staff was very helpful and understanding. We decided to enroll our daughter there for kindergarten and said we would give it 6 months. We loved it and, more importantly, my daughter really loved it. She was happy each day going to school and coming home. She learned a lot and had fun doing it. Her teacher Mrs. Butler is the kind of teacher you want for young children. She is simply wonderful. The Principal at this school is exceptional. He is always in a great mood, knows every child's name and he is tireless. This man loves this school, the families, and the kids. We are now heading into 1st grade and are looking forward to another wonderful year.

Rolling Ridge is a wonderful school with excellent leadership. Although the student population is very diverse, the teachers and administration do a great job addressing all student needs. The struggling students get small group instruction as well as the high performing students. The atmosphere of the school is solely attributed to the principal and his ability to inspire and motivate the staff. Now all we need are more parents to be involved!
