I love Rocky River Middle School. Teachers are kind, fair, and helpful. There are many options for people of different skills and levels. Some of them include fitness, health, technology, art, CCR (college career readiness), band, choir, gifted programs, and special needs programs. The school is very safe. They have a couple officers around the building, making sure students are safe, healthy, and making sure nothing goes too far. Mrs. Rose, the principal, is very kind and cares for the students, teachers, students'' parents/guardians, and staff. The school is also very clean and sanitary. The school provides students with many resources. Overall, Rocky River Middle School is an incredible school.

This school was hell on earth. There was a major discipline problem and was picked on and beat up every day while the staff did nothing. I was insulted and put down by several teachers. If you're serious about education and a safe environment, don't go here!
