"I just read the comment from 2/12 and it sounds as if this comment was written by a kid. LOL"

"My daughter is going into the 8th grade at Rogers. She has liked all of her teachers but one and I have liked all but one (different from the teacher she didn't like. Hence, 4 stars -pretty good odds, though). The administration has been fantastic. They actually hold the kids accountable for their actions! As a parent of a middle school kid (and one who has been a substitute teacher in the district), I, too, love Rogers. My daughter did not go to one of the nearby elementary schools, but has never felt like an outsider. She has made many new friends, most of whom I like as well. The office personnel has always been very nice and accommodating. We are quite happy with the staff, the faculty, and the student body."

"I was saddened by the post made by a parent on 2/21/12. We currently have two boys at Rogers and couldn't be happier with the education they are receiving. My boys have had fabulous teachers who have given them a variety of assignments/projects, everything can't be exciting and fun but we have had some very creative projects and assignments over the years. The instrumental music program at Rogers is amazing, the kids work so hard to please their music teacher and the results are brilliant. My sons have been given many opportunities to perform, we support the music program whole-heartedly and we are a family with more time than money to give. We feel all solos/chairs are earned not bought and that these talented kids deserve their moment in the limelight. The administrators at this school are kind and just, they bend over backwards to help if needed, we will sincerely miss our current principal when he retires this year. The office staff is more than friendly considering what they need to deal with on a daily basis. We look forward to the next five years at Rogers and know they will be as wonderful as the last three. Your children will be lucky if they get to attend this school."

"As a parent of an 8th grader I have seen the "boring" assignments aka worksheets and copying definitions as well as many opportunities and even requirements for creativity.. There are many projects which allow for individualized work. We are in he GATE program so I can't speak for the whole school. In GATE there are often options for the way the child wants to learn. I believe it is usually the class size that inhibits individualized teaching (and sometimes even teacher grading-- I understand having your peers grade your paper in math where there is one right answer,. But in english to have a weak writer critique a strong writer's paper?). Like any school there are some stronger and weaker teachers and some that are a good fit for one kid and not another. And even a good teacher can have a bad year (ever had a parent with cancer? Kind of affects your work). I have found the teachers to be VERY open to my questions and concerns. Except one....who is (drumroll) now gone. Yes, parent concerns were addressed! I have also gotten immediate action on both academic and peer concerns from administrators who listened very respectfully.they were also responsive to my child."

"After reading the review from 2/21, I felt compelled to respond. I am one of those office workers that the writer thinks is rude. I think we have one of the best office staffs in the district and this is constantly confirmed by visitors. My only advise to this parent is that if you are this unhappy, why are you still here. We have a very long waiting list of students who would like to attend this awesome school, so we could use the space."
