[quote=Anonymous]I have a child at Rosemont. The most important piece is that my child is very happy there and is doing well academically. My child has had some really good teachers and small class sizes and likes the kids. There have been some kids with discipline issues but not outside the norm of MCPS. Staff has fluctuated a little bit but a few staff members have been there long term. The school counselors are great and so are the secretaries.

Rosemont has fluctuated between being Title 1 due to boundary changes. It is currently Title 1 now. The school pulls from many apartments. We have found friends but I feel like Mill Creek may have more of a neighborhood feel (if you want a comparison). This is not a school with a lot of parent support or active PTA, though the PTA is slowly building up. There is not a ton of after school options in terms of clubs nor events. I wasn't a huge fan of the after care but some families do like it.

The principal is terrible. Very absent and not good with dealing with behavioral issues. She will talk over you. IF she attends events, she rarely talks to anyone. She had almost no communication during covid even when the school was closed for a month (after the kids had gone back).  Most of the notices home are now sent by someone other than her. Also, the school can be punitive and take away minutes of recess, which they aren't supposed to do.

Anyways, all that to say, my child is super happy there which is why we have stayed even though we could have moved elsewhere. [/quote]
