Open Quote Great school! Thoughtful and caring teachers. Best IB school I have seen! Close Quote

Open Quote This school is poor, at best. Some teachers could care less, and the principle is horrible. I just switched to a new school. I had a ton of complaints, that I told the new school about. They retested my child and found that none of the scores that Rockrimmon was putting on my childs report card were true. All of the test score were about half of what Rockrimmon teachers put. I think there is something fishy going on, there!!! Close Quote

Open Quote If you wantyour child to learn how to take tests, fil in a bubble and never think outside the box, this is the school for you. Though there are a few strong teachers, the leadership is rude and dissmissive of parent concerns. Not 1 library or tech class in 3 years. Close Quote
