“I was a student at Rock Lake for all 3 years,h. Rock Lake gives an outstanding basic education but upon leaving 8th grade for freshman year in high school, i found myself drowning in the amount of work and difficulty of work in high school. The teachers did not prepare anyone in my 8th grade honors classes well enough as they should've, and due to this we all have to work super hard to get good grade for the next 3 years. I was involved in band, which Rock Lake excells at, Mr. Hedgecoth is an excellent teacher Safety is also an issue.”

“The gifted program at Rock Lake Middle School is wonderful! My child was happy and involved throughout her three years there. Make sure you have the teachers email addresses and you keep in contact. There is no reason why you cannot get involved and volunteer. The quality of the parents as well as the children is A++”

“Rock Lake has outstanding curriculum programs that keep students interested and involved. The faculty members are dedicated to helping students work up to their highest potential. As parents we found it extremely difficult to work with the principal, who is very cold and unyielding. The administrative staff is frequently unable to provide accurate or timely communications with parents. Teacher turnover has increased leading to speculation that the leadership provided leaves something to be desired.”

“The teachers are excellent. Teachers are very supportive. Administration - the principal - is difficult to deal with. She is very rigid. It's her way or the highway. Many teachers are leaving this year due to her style of leadership. Stress and low teacher morale has caused this exodus.Previously, Rock Lake had been a school that always retained it teachers. The teachers, students, parents, and previous principals have made Rock Lake great over the years. This equation has changed with the current principal.”

“The best middle school in Florida! It could use more extracurricular after school activities. Even with a low teacher turnover (@2.3%) the staff stays very current on the cutting edge of technology and methodology. Students are well prepared with the great majority arriving with a good family and educational foundation on which to build.”

“After having had 2 children in Rock Lake Middle School, I am convinced that education has hit Rock Buttom. Not a single teacher had the stamina to encurage any of my children in archieving good grades. When you call them incompetent you get the answer that we parents should sit in the class room. When you look into these kids eyes, you see nothing but sadness and frustration. When the Orlando Sentinel ask for a statistic on the students behavior ( all the misdemenors and felonies combined ) the answer was short and clear: We do not give out any information. The Principal and the majority of the staff should be send home and be exchanged with some real teachers.”
