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.

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.
