What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, February 21, 2009

We moved from Canada last summer. Before the move, we've done extensive research on schools in both Kirkland and Redmond, and have decided that Rockwell was the best school for our 6 year old son. The decision was based on the fact that the school's test scores are satisfactory, least amount of students with assisted lunches etc.

The progress our son has shown in both reading and writing is just fantastic, especially because it had been a struggle up until now (his ability was well below average, even considering his age). He seems to have 'clicked' and started spelling difficult words with least difficulty. Thanks to his teacher (mostly for her patience!)

Rockwell also provides bus services, which provides tremendous help in the parents' every day schedule.

Needless to say, we LOVE this school. We are looking to buy a home right now, and have decided not to buy any home that is outside the school's boundary. Close Quote
