"I've been a student here for three years now. The administration is ignorant. The teachers are very rude to the kids and get away with it. The school really is all about popularity. The principal doesn't know what she's doing, and neither do 75% of the teachers. Rock Lake is very unfair with how they pick sides with students and never listen to the other side. They never do any investigation of any situations and automatically pick sides based on who they like more. Don't send your kids here."

"Very disappointed in this school, more specifically, since the new principal has taken the helm. My son spent the worst years of his life here, being bullied because of a disability. With the exception of a few of the gifted teachers, the faculty is clueless and the principal is running a popularity contest. When I was finally granted "an audiance" with the prinicpal, she told me that my son should "just ignore" being bullied. That, to me, speaks volumes. I am putting my 5th grader in a magnet program at different middle school next year."

"I can agree with previous statements that there have been cuts. I'm extremely disappointed with the administration. Bullying is defiantly a concern. There is also favoritism with students. Teachers lack of experience with special needs children. The principal is one of the worst to deal with."

"Rock Lake is an overall outstanding school. Though due to the recession they've had to cut a lot of electives. Teachers really don't prepare you for what's up ahead. The principal is fine, but can be uptight at times. Overall though great school."

"Rock Lake middle school has some really good teachers that do an excellent job teaching, and really seem to care about students. But not all teachers are good teachers and there seems to be an equal mix of the 2 at this school! Bullying is a major problem at this school. From what my children & other students have told me most the teachers and the administration look the other way most the time when it comes to bulling. Then there are a few that go to the extreme favoring one child over another on pure opinion instead of facts. I am personally disappointed with the administration when I had some concerns. There are little to no Extracurricular Activities offered at this school this year."
