Roskruge Bilingual Elementary School Reviews

My Child attend Roskruge the last three years. I would really recommend this school. The atmosphere is very positive for learning.

My child is enrolled in this school. They have a positive attitude and a great curriculum. I had the opportunity to volunteer and the teaching methods used are adequate. They have a great afterschool program as well and care is exceptional. It is great to see a bilingual school that really cares what a child learns.

My child was enrolled at this school for the first quarter. I would not reccomend this school. The school administrator and assistant administrator are not performing their duties. This is a magnet school that specializes in bilingual education. My experience was that the school did not so much teach spanish as a second langauge but taught classes in spanish to the majority of spanish speaking students. This in itself was very misleading. I was under the impression that spanish was being taught as a second language but whats happening is that Instead of enrolling students in english emersion classes students are being sent to Roskruge where they are taught in spanish. The test scores aren't impressive. The assistant principal explained to me that the reason for that was due to the large amount of students that only spoke spanish. If this school were under another administration It might possibly become a better school
