I have had my two daughters at Rocky Point since the school opened. The school grows stronger and offers more educational challenges each year. My daughters are achieving above grade level and love going to school! What more can a parent ask for!

I am so pleased with the education my daughter is receiving at Rocky Point. She is challenged academically while also challenged physically. I wouldn't send her anywhere else. Love the staff and small school environment.

Rocky Point Charter School
short and sweet. The teachers are great however Rocky Point is very unorganized and sports are rare. There are not many students but there are not many teachers either. Class size is the same as a public school.

Rocky Point Charter School
This is a wonderful place - PE included! My son has excelled in this pro-child, pro-curiosity environment. Paperwork takes a back seat to ACTUAL LEARNING, which is a blessing in these NCLB dog days of testing, testing, and more testing! My child's advanced reading and math abilities are considered in his placement, as are his social skills and maturity. This school definitely cares for the WHOLE child, and not just what they can do on testing day.
