For parents or guardians thinking about going to this school, DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD GO TO ROCKWOOD VALLEY!

I went there and the students made fun of me by what I wore, who I talked to, what mistakes I made, what I liked, basically everything about me.

The teachers never helped me with anything. Not even the questions I asked! (I started failing all my classes.) The teachers gave me more homework than the other students.

The principals always sent me to ISS (In School Suspension) everyday, AND I NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG! I once got slapped on the back really hard by a bully I had, so I yelled at him for what he did. I got a 6 day OSS(Out of School Suspension), and the bully got a lunch detention for one day.

My mother always reported bullying everyday, and the school never did anything about it. So, she took me out of that H*ll Hole and home schooled me for 2 1/2 years.

The school I'm going to now is Wildwood Middle School. Its a ton better than RVMS.
The kids are nice, the teachers are kind, and the students are so friendly! I would recommend this school to anybody.

This isn't really a review. ITS A WARNING! DON'T GO TO ROCKWOOD VALLEY!!! EVER!!!! Close Quote

Everyone from the teachers, administrators, and other staff work together to ensure your child has a easy time transitioning from elementary school to middle school. They are invested in the students with every teacher offering after school help weekly most bi weekly. Communication is very important and they strive to keep everyone in the loop. Challenge courses offer that extra needed for students easily bored. Have been very pleased. Came from Parkway which has been declining in value and education. Close Quote
