What school district is Roland W. Russom Elementary School part of?
I feel this so far has been a great school. They are in the process of redistricting which is kinda scary. I have 4 children and only one attends now. The school has been great only thing I would change would be the office staff; they aren't very friendly. Working in a school setting prior to marriage and kids I know what it is like for a new parent to come to the office. We alway said hello to the student first then the parent and we had a smile on our face. The first thing out of our mouths was "Hello how are you" not a frown with a "What do you need". So if you are looking-look past the office staff. The teachers seem to have great personalities and on the outside look like they are passionate about their job.
