Rolling Hills Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-01-30 “This school is wonderful! The 'specials' (music, gym, computer, assets and art) the kids are envolved in daily are exceptional....especially assets. As to the parent who wrote a negative on having 3 principals in 3 years. The first one retired (I believe that should be ok to do). The second one that left was a Vice Principal that moved onto another school to become a Principal (I believe that should be acceptable too). The last principal the writer is speaking about is currently in her second year at Rolling Hills and is doing a great job. I have seen many great changes due in part to her coming to the school. The parent who wrote a negative about 1st graders doing research papers...what's wrong with challenging a 1st grader on a 1st grader level. As far as physical activity...the children have 2 recesses daily, plus gym class when it's their week.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-01-29 “The school is great There is incredible parent involvement and people are highly encouraged to get involved in the classes.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-11-27 “1st graders at Rolling Hills are required to do research papers. Physical activity has virtually no place in this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-09-07 “I have quite a different opinion from the other writers, unfortunately. I wish I had their view. I have experience 3 principals in 3 years. Not a great track record. The teachers surely perform and their test results prove it. Sadly, I have removed both of my children from this school into a charter school. They are so worried about their scores that I almost feel like they would rather you leave. Please check this school out further if your child isn't an academic sponge. It would be worth it to find out ahead of time that your child won't fit.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-03-18 “This is an awesome school. The teachers and staff go above and beyond and take an interest in each child both academically and personally. I am moving my family out of state, and only pray that the teachers and staff are half as good as the those at Rolling Hills.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-03-08 “Best elementary in Cherry Creek! Teachers go above and beyond their jobs. Small classes. Academics are great. Test scores prove this. All staff is caring. Parent volunteers are abendant and really make a difference. Only draw back-Year Round school though so different from traditional. Kids go 9 weeks to school and then have 3 weeks off. School ends in June. Most tracks start right after fourth of July. Most elementary schools in Cherry Creek School District are year round.Just too many kids. Great before school program.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-01-10 “I moved from the Denver Tech Center area over to a neighborhood that feeds into Rolling Hills, specifically to get my daughter into this school. In my opinion this is the best elementary school in the Cherry Creek District which probably makes it the best in the State. The only thing that I think this school needs to improve on is extracurricular activities. Affordable foreign language classes, a choir, sports etc.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-01-10 “Rolling Hills has extremely high quality academic programs. We have been very favorably impressed with the teachers' experience and the curriculum. There is a good amount of parental involvement. In fact, the PTO purchased a room full of computers for the computer lab last year! We are very pleased with Rolling Hills Elementary.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-05-12 “This is a great school with parent involvment and teachers who care.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 4 2005-05-09 “I have been very please with the progress of my kids in Rolling Hills since Kindergarten. The teachers really care and spend time with each of them as necessary.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-08-03 “My children have attended Rolling Hills since Kindergarten. Now my daugher is off to Middle School and my son is in 4th grade. I can't express how wonderful my experience has been a Rolling Hills. They are an exemplary school with lots of programs to support the kids. There has been a great acceptance of the difference kids have in learning styles and abilities. Parent participation at this school is fostered and welcome and makes an impact on the atmosphere. We may have to leave the area due to job chances and I am using School net to see if I can find even something remotely as great as RH has been.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-05-03 “Incredible school! We moved to this area because of this school. The teachers are fantastic, we love the open-door policy, and the caring environment our children walk into every day!”
