It sits far back from the road and forms a campus with the adjoining middle school. - With your eldest at the middle school, it's convenient having all three kids on the same campus. - The leadership (front office, Principal, etc.) have been very good, and are engaged, caring people. - There is a very active PTO here as well. Most of us don't have a choice about public elementary schools, but if you're shopping for a home within the Sunset Elem. district, I can recommend this school to you without reservation.

I attended university here for 4 years of my life, and it was one of the best decisions of my young…read moreadulthood. To start, the school is extremely affordable and yet still offers unparalleled opportunity and ability for personal development. I attended here at an affordable rate, yet this university gave me many great experiences (Simply for being a student!) - access to a 3d printer - amazing concerts - free tutoring - an amazing gym with a rock wall - a huge pool - any sporting facility you can think of - foreign diplomats and artists lectures - fun events - a carnival - political and democratic events In addition, the campus is absolutely beautiful and is always expanding and growing! The university itself is old, but its tech and development is state of the art. The professors are generally helpful, fair, and very professional. I thoroughly enjoyed class and you will too (as long as you do what is required of you!) Many professors here are world class! I was taught by authors, news anchors, politicians, and world travelers... their stories were amazing. They were truly a joy to learn from. (Shoutouts: Dr. Diccico, Prof. Burris, Prof. Oppmann, Dr. Kolar, Prof. Willis, Prof. Kent) The student resources were awesome too! This university is top notch at taking care of its students. We had access to every opportunity possible. We had a Job center, clothing closet, food pantry, general stores, plenty of space to hangout, fun events, a great gym, a pool, a rock wall, mental health services, veterans services, a pharmacy, and even a clinic. (I'm sure there is more, but this is impressive alone) I would also like to say that the experiences and memories I made there were absolutely amazing. I met people from all over the world who attended here, and the quality of education I received was the best of the best. My only complaint is that they need more dorms and of a better quality.

Run, far and fast away from this place. The negative reviews show the true colors of this "school"…read moreThe positive reviews are written by paid staff, friends of the director or owners. Read the negative reviews and base your decision off that. The Owner's will respond spouting off about their "Vision, Values and Mission" but they don't care about any of it. It's there to help them rope you in and make money. They only care about money not about the children or the parents. I am sure they will respond here with the same canned responses they give every other negative review. They refuse to resolve issues face to face, through email or over the phone "they don't have a contact number" yea sure they don't have a phone. Attached to this post will be pictures of all the reasons we decided to remove our child from this "school" please be wary of the positive posts on here. The staff does not seem to care about anything going on, and are there to just pick up a paycheck and could care less what happens with our children. We have brought up issues multiple times with the director, and given plenty of time for the issues to be resolved, however the director seems to brush off the issue and no resolution was made, hence our choice to remove our son from this "school" If the owners of the "school" would like to discuss this information further with us, they can feel free to give us a call ( Not email , not canned responses to this post a genuine phone call); if we do not hear from them , then we will assume they do not have concern for the health and well being of the children in their facility and are only in the business to make money.

The reason why we especially love Barfield Academy is they take time to teach the children instead of letting TVs babysit them. My child has grown immensely since attending. The focus on manners, ABCs, 123s and overall just being a good respectful little person make my wife and I very happy. I know there has been some turnover at the director level, but those were personal choices that people had to make for career advancement, which should never be frowned upon. Miss Alice and Miss Emily have this school running on all cylinders and we are proud to be a part of the Barfield Academy family.

You can drop off…read moreat the front and the back and you have two ways to get back to the main road which is great when one seems to be moving slower than the other. All the teachers are great. The office staff is nice and I have not had one problem from anyone or anything at this school. The school is big and spacious and the playground is up to date. The gym is very nice and the bathrooms are clean. The lunch menu is healthy and actually taste. Their website is great for parents too. My kids love their teachers, shout out to Ms Estes, Ms Turner, and Ms Anderson ( a total HOOT!) and they love this school. At their last school by now I was dragging these kids out of bed and dragging them to the car listening to whimpers and I hate school all the way. But here we are half way through the year and they have not once said they didn't want to go to school. Kids grades are good and perfect attendance. The school nurse is very nice too. If the child gets hurt or something she will call you, tell you what happened, whether their vitals are fine and give you her opinion on whether you should come and get them. I do appreciate her opinion as she is an actual nurse and it keeps me from having to leave work to pick up an "unsick" child ( you know what I mean) But all in all I love this school and so do the kids. We are so glad we moved here and got zoned for this school! Love love love it!

This was such a bad experience. We had a party reservation for 12pm and arrived 25 minutes early…read more We knew we wouldn't be able to set up until 15 minutes ahead of the party time, so I wanted to check in and see if anything was needed and where we would be setting up once the time came. No one was at the front desk and there was a note to call a number if no one was available. I called, no answer. At 20 minutes until start time I went in when I saw someone working the desk. I spoke with her and she advised it was her first time working a party and she wasn't sure of the procedure. She walked me to an area and said I think this is where you'll be. I asked if we could set up at the tables and she said she didn't know. The bathroom was locked she said she would have to check and see how to get in. She said everyone there needed to fill out a waiver. I asked if just the swimmers should do that and their parents. She said every person in the building needed one. I said typically a waiver of liability is just for the swimmers or participants and she said "don't be difficult about it - I was told everyone needed them so just fill them out". She then walked away. Ad guests began to arrive she advised everyone should rinse before entering the pool. The kids did and one jumped in. It was 11:53 and the party was scheduled from 12-2. She said everyone out of the pool - it's not your party time yet. We had them get out and wait. The lady then advised she was also doing therapy in another area and was working double duty and went to another room. The toilet in the restroom looked rotten and guests were not able to use it. I messaged the owner and asked for a call back. I advised of the difficulty we'd had and my frustration. He said, "I'm sorry for the hiccup- I thought she'd be smoother than that". He said it was a hectic weekend bc of the holiday and many people were out of town. We had no more contact with the woman from check in until she showed back up while my daughter was opening gifts at 1:44 and said the next party had already arrived so we needed to be sure we wrapped up soon and were out by 2. The kids swam and had fun regardless - because they're kids, but this was so stressful and miserable as the parent and party host. We will never, ever return to this business. If you're on the fence about planning a party here- don't waste your time or money.

His whole purpose is to make sure the children who come to him for lessons, know how to survive first, if they ever find themselves in the water alone Then become efficient in their swim skills. It's a tough love kind of lesson, but it's so necessary and we're so thankful for it every year we've taken our babies. They are becoming such strong swimmers and know without a thought if they get tired, roll and float. Something I honestly would have never even thought to teach them had I taught them swim. So thank you Coach gareth and team! We appreciate you guys!

On 9/1/26 a child diagnosed with ADHD and in the schools 504 plan WAS ILLEGALLY DENIED ACCESS to…read morerecess as a PUNISHMENT for classroom issues. Under Tennessee Law ADHD is considered a DISABILITY and no one with that disability can be denied recess... "Legal Rights of Children with ADHD in Tennessee Section 504 Overview Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in programs receiving federal financial assistance. This includes public schools, which must provide appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities, such as those with ADHD. Recess and Accommodations Equal Access: Schools are required to ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to educational opportunities, which includes recess. 504 Plan Requirements: If a child with ADHD has a 504 Plan, the school must follow the accommodations outlined in that plan. Denying recess could be seen as discriminatory if it does not align with the child's specific needs. Conclusion In Tennessee, a child with ADHD in a 504 school program cannot be legally denied recess, as it would violate their rights under Section 504. Schools must provide the necessary accommodations to support the child's educational experience." Rockvale Middle School has done just that. It has willingly broken the law protecting ADHD/504 kids. Lawsuit is pending and you need to understand that most of these teachers are mostly activists and do not understand the LAWS protecting such children nor are they willing to enforce the law because of their own IMPATIENCE. Therefore, NEGLECT IS ALLOWED here as no school official stated any SAFETY reasons for the child being removed for a week for recess. It was done as a means of PUNISHMENT and simply says if you misbehave, you cant play with the good kids. It singles them out and violates their rights. I know that ADHD kids are hard to manage...I worked with delinquent children in detention homes for 14 years. But I also know patience is needed and in public schools, its not a value they have as they are mostly babysitters. If you ever have a child with ADHD and in a 504 program denied recess as punishment, you have a great case for a lawsuit against the school. If this issue is not resolved today [9/2/26] I will be filing a lawsuit against Rockvale Middle School.
