Research Ross/Hill Academy-Elementary charter Schools in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

“I think RHA needs a lot of improvement. When I first enrolled my child in the high school it was for the curriculums that they advertised like Cosmetology, Healthcare, Designing. These were things that my child was interested in so I moved her from the high school she was attending and placed her at Ross Hill. Ross Hill had none of those programs and I was very disappointed because my daughter could have stayed where she was. This school is a joke and I did remove my daughter.”

“I appreciate the staff and atmosphere at Ross Hill under Dr. Williams. How Ross Hill each year expands into a K-12 campus. The staff has been consistent...remaining over the years from my grandson's K now he is in the 10th grade and most of the same teachers are still there--ethnically and there are several men teachers.”

“Yes I do agree with that parent that the Ross Hill Academy is full of it they talk a good game about educating our children giving them more criteria and more homework to keep them up with todays society when all the do is give you more of a headache about there expences. I was looking forward to a different level of learning for my child when it was like keeping him in public high school now don't get me wrong I believe that the elementary part of Ross Hill is doing so good but what we do with our children when they get in older and want to attend the high school part I hope they get it together. Speaking on when you can recieve a report card for your child they either don't have the paper to print on or they haven't printed them up”

“I was very disappointed in Ross Hill Academy,especially the teachers they talked a good game but could'nt back it up.The after school program was pointless the kids never had any homework help.”

“RHA was a disappointmnet.The school talk a good game, but had little to offer. The free after school programs were not meaningful, it is comparable to watching your children play on the playground. They do offer music classes that was a plus however, they do not have their own gym and the children had to walk to the Franklin as well as most of their field trips. I would not recommend this school.”

“I, think Ross-Hill is a very disciplined and educational school. My children came from the public school system and it is a better change. My children are fairly new to the school but so far so good. Tisha Gillam”

“This isa an excellent school. The teachers are great. My son had previous behavior problems but when he started Ross Hill his teacher kept in constant contact with me as I requested and my son has had no problems and his grades are great. He enjoys going to school now. His teacher is great. The school has a very positive staff which I have found to be reflected in the students. They are really big on parent participation and I love the fact that the teachers must follow the dress code as to set an example for the students. The school is great. I also like the educational style used by the school its very positive nothing negative about it. I Love This school.”
