Rock Creek Forest ES RCF ES New principal

[Anonymous]

And both counselors aren't listed either? One is listed at Westland Middle.

Three different set of apartment complexes within this school's boundaries are designated as low income housing. So, smaller class sizes?? How are test scores? And do spanish immersion families come from all over MoCo including those that reside within school's boundaries? Will RCF ES continue to house Spanish immersion after 2025-2026 school year - asking to plan a move.

RCF is neither Focus nor Title I, so no reduced class sizes.

Should be part of the BIO or something you can easily look up.

It used to be a Focus school. My DD had 12 kids in her class through second grade. This was about 10 years ago

Where does one look it up?? AP position advertised. So AP for school year 2023-2024 is out or was promoted?

May have lost focus status. Don't think it was ever Title 1.

Don’t move thinking that living nearby gets your child into immersion- it’s a full countywide lottery.

I thought some seats are reserved for native speakers in the catchment area.

No, no seats reserved for anyone in this program. Sorry!

Other questions from pp:
- class size is not small
-test scores in the English program are ok but not great
-new admin are ok

An opening for AP (Assistant Principal)? A new AP started in 2023-2024. Or is the position advertised for an additional AP?

It wouldn't be an additional AP. Last year's AP must be leaving.

Sometimes name and email address of a counselor could go missing on the websites over the summer
