I wish I could have the same raving reviews as these other parents, but so far we are barely into the school year and it's just been awful! First year at this school and it saddens me my son has to go here. Lack of students safety when bullying is involved, excuses constantly made, lack of leadership in the school and it shows if you really pay attention. The drop off and pick system is a nightmare. My son wont poop if he is at school because he says they have bugs all over the toilets! Honestly wish I could find the school these parents are raving about. We moved within Virginia Beach and I am seeing what I need to do for my son to get transferred to his old school. My son cry's and says he's sick b/c he doesn't want to go to his new school, this is ridiculous. I want my son to feel safe and learn, he doesn't feel safe due to incidents which breaks my heart. We are military and have seen our fare share of schools between my 2 boys. This is by far the worst!

My son has been at Rosemont Forest for 4 years and we have LOVED it so much. The teachers and staff are amazing... The art and music program are so wonderful to have! We will be moving next school year and miss this school so much...

We have current students at this school. I think its one of the best schools out there. I have both a child with ASD and a typically developing child. Both children love the school, are challenged with the academics. The administration office is wonderful. When I had an issue, there was a response in less than 6 hours with a solution.

This school is absolutely amazing. Small school with teachers who care about student's learning. One of the best "well kept secrets" in all of Virginia Beach Schools. This school definitely has a community vibe where Parents, Teachers, Administrators and Students all work together to promote a healthy and fun learning environment. Highly recommend this school for anyone who is looking for a school that is not over crowded and that provides a quality education for all students. Wish I could give it more than 5 Stars.

This school is amazing! My son was so scared when he started kindergarten last year, and they made him feel comfortable and right at home. By the third day of school, he acted like he'd been there for ages and he had so much fun. They learned how to read rather quickly which we loved, and the amount of knowledge he left the school year with was astounding! The teachers are wonderful and helpful, and parents can be involved all the time. I recommend this school to anyone.

Amazing school, amazing teachers. They took the time to communicate with me on every level regarding all 3 of my childrens' education. All 3 of my kids completed K-6 at this school. The principals are amazing and I wish we could do those years all over again. Don't let this rating fool you.

I had two children attend this school and both did very well. For my son, a special needs student, this school went above and beyond in meeting his needs and providing a quality education. The teachers take a genuine interest in each student and want to see them succeed.

Rosemont Forest Elementary is filled with caring and delightful staff. Communications from the school are excellent and timely, I had 2 children attending there last year and both had fantastic teachers that did everything to help them succeed. Even working with an IEP for one of my children was never a problem! This is a Great school! My kids are excited to start this year !
