Your Children Are Not Safe At Will Rogers Elementary School…read more It kills me to say that, but at this current moment in time it's a sad reality. I first walked through the front gates of this school back in 2017 with my oldest and the reviews on this website from that time are accurate. It was a 5 star school. As I enter my last year as a parent I pray daily for the safety of my child knowing that one individual has already failed my youngest and so many other children in our community. It should be said that this school still has a beautiful campus, quality teachers, loving staff and is a great community of families. So why the 1 star review? The Principal of this school has ruined it. What I share here is my experience and is made up of toxic and abusive interactions with the principal, my child being assaulted by another child on campus after repeated cries for help, and the experience of other families. Simply put, narcissists don't make for good Principals. Some fellow parents and I have a game we now play. Every week when the school newsletter drops we laugh at how its main focus isn't the students, it's the principal. How many photos can she put of her in it, how has she made it all about her accomplishments? It's absolutely vile I had heard horror stories of why families were leaving the school. When one family went to address their student being harassed, she told them that they have a very attractive child and it's natural for students to give that child attention. Multiple families left because the Principal refused to put an entire class of kids safety and ability to learn as a priority over one kid who consistently acted out in many inappropriate ways. When my child was assaulted on campus by a fellow student resulting in broken bones, the principal blamed other faculty while attempting to gaslight and manipulate me into feeling bad for the parents of the child who has a long list of incidents. The principal was more focused on making sure my oldest child (who was at a totally different school and has never been in any kind of physical altercation) would not retaliate against their older sibling than any effort to fix the situation on her campus. The child who attacked my child unprovoked was allowed to return to school the following day and was only pulled from class after the Principal was shocked to discover my child came to school a day after the horrific attack. Let that sink in - she only pulled the kid because she underestimated the strength of the victim and their ability to get an education and participate because her focus was on making sure the attacker was protected and had no interruption to their education. A few weeks later when this kid continued to bully my child and we tracked down the principal after school to address it, she lied to our faces before rushing over to serve as a human shield to the child causing the problems. The reason she went to protect him from us is because in our last conversation prior to our face to face, after being told over and over how hard this kids life is and how he doesn't get to participate in certain school activities because of his home life I said that I would be willing to help him because at the end of the day I recognize he's just a child and that upset the Principal. She didn't run over to protect that child because she thought I would harm them, she went to prevent me from speaking to him so maybe I could hear him and help him feel included. Oh and for the record she blamed my child's awesome teacher for not stopping the bullying and harassment despite that child being in a totally different class. Classic narcissist behavior. This brings me to my next reason why this school is a shell of what it once was. If you or your kid is a neurodivergent get ready to be treated like dirt. Nothing derails a narcissist like a neurodivergent who can overcome and disrupt the narcissistic need for control, false hierarchies and manipulation. Oh and one final gripe - my kid didn't even get a final report card last year. Absolutely unacceptable I hope several years from now I can come back here after the damage and destruction the ego of the current Principal has caused this once great school and see 5 star reviews again. However as long as the current leader is running the ship - your kids are better off at a different school in the area.

I had two of my children enrolled at this school, and it was one of the worst decisions I've ever…read moremade for their education and well‑being. The principal shows no genuine concern for students or families unless the situation benefits her personally. Teachers have lied, threatened students, and dismissed parent concerns, and even when complaints are made, nothing is addressed. Trying to speak with the principal or assistant principal is nearly impossible. They are consistently "unavailable" until you make it clear you're prepared to escalate the issue to the district. Only then does someone suddenly become available. I ultimately had to threaten legal action against both the school and the district just to get my children transferred out. Bullying is another major problem. When you report it, the principal always has an excuse for the bully and tries to shift blame back onto the parent. If you are a person of color, be prepared for your concerns to be minimized or dismissed entirely. She treats serious issues as if they're insignificant. I've had to file formal complaints against the principal, and three teachers, as well as a police report. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. PLEASE stay away from this school. If you want your child to feel safe, supported, and able to excel, choose another campus. This environment is not one where children thrive.

Can't justify that waste of public funds any way you look at it. Neighborhood is no cleaner and now, a lot less shady without those ficus trees. And students are no better off than before the project.

I was appalled at how disrespectful parents were towards the teachers. Regardless of one's opinions about the curriculum, which has been quite an issue these last few years, some parents spoke so negatively to and about the teachers and their opinions. Not once did the administrators or school board members intervene on behalf of their teachers which seemed to give permission to this disgusting display of disrespect and humiliation. Certainly there must have been a way to support these teachers and these parents. I left feeling that this kind of discord trickles into every phase of a school's performance and reputation. CCHS is not how I remember it to be. I'm glad my kids graduated when there was an amicable relationship between the administrators, staff and parents.

At this school, the school cares more about their image than what they actually do. They have little ''events'' but they mostly put it on their instagram even when there's a cellphone ban. They do attendance challenges where if you show up consistently for a couple days you could get a 10$ Starbucks gift card. It's stupid, I know. They never clean the inside of the classroom building, they treated the cellphone ban as more important than students vaping, since they knew students smoke and smoke at that school but they dont do a single thing to stop it!! There was a burnt tampon found in the toilet - (no one knows why they were burning the tip of a tampon) someone reported it to the duke, and no consequences were given. The only people who actually care (In my opinion) are those at the wellbeing center. They let you come in and they welcome you even if they're going everyday, they actually care about mental health. Teachers like Ms. Ishii, Ms. Mitchell and Ms. Monge will put you on your last brain cells since their work is so hard, they will expect much out of you and I would warn against them unless you like teachers who are old school, would make you cry once or twice or close to crashing out, hesitating on respect for students, and having a spirit which made school less enjoyable due to their dark/ mean demeanors. The lunch is a dissapointmemt, instead of it being like an al you can eat buffet, they just throw food into being heat up and it's never handmade / cooked. Sometimes the cafeteria food is moldy or rotting, and it's open food where flies are flying around it. The theatre program was amazing, and we will sure miss Ronnie Sperling as our diretctor as he had decided to leave us after this year. As well since in Highschool a lot of students want to go to college, Uni doesn't really mention college to you until Junior year (Teacher wise), but I would recommend the college center since they just started that as we became seniors and It can be really helpful towards those who want the best academics. The dress code policy is stupid, Ms. Tucker Jones has a nasty attitude, I dont know if its because were both black and she's jealous I carry myself better than her, or she feels that she had to keep things in lock idk she just pissed me off. Also everyone booed the principal at graduation (Claudia Middleton) Anyways, If you end up bringing your child here it up to you. Goodluck, and be prepared to offer extreme emotional support, and money especially for senior year. But out of all the negative, here are some positive things I liked about this school. I mentioned being a black teen girl, we have a BSAP Counselor- Ms. Johnson. She took us to field trips for hocus, to go see a movie about being black, and watching a black play nutcracker. She also offers scholarship opportunities. I like this schools after school program educare, they offer a lot of snacks after school, tutoring and homework held ! :) Mr. Sabbagh had an excellent music progrgam- and if you wanna sing the national anthem for graduation go to him and try out even if you think youre not good enough do it try your best!!! As I said earlier the theatre program was good, so is the sports selection even tho this school is broke. And now, thats it. thank you so much for reading even though this was very long, I am finally done with this school. Peace out! -June, class of 2026
