My child showed me pictures of a molly milk carton during her lunch period. The milk carton was discarded before it was clear that it should be preserved. However, multiple photographs were taken immediately, showing dark mold-like growth inside the carton.

Overall, this school is subpar. It sn't the worst, but much can be improved. There are 3 mini schools. One mini school is primarily made of kids who are "better students. " The other 2 school mini schools are mainly complied with kids who struggle academically, and potentially cause behavior problems. In order to improve the school, this divide needs to be removed.

As a parent of more that one student in attendance, I can firsthand advise against Rockvale Middle School. If you have a choice, this isn't the place for student engagement or competent leadership. The teachers are allowed to address students in derogatory tones and lead with fear tactics. It is poi...
