Rollings Middle School of the Arts 1635 Beech Hill Road, Summerville, SC 29485

"I love this school so much. Amazing teachers and kids. Lots of freedom, and great education. I'm in high school now, and I really really miss RMSA. I actually live in VA now, and i HATED the school that i went to. it made me love RMSA even more though. They are so welcoming to sixth graders, and I was surprised how much fun we had all year. You get to walk around the school, eat your lunch, socialize, or catch up with school work during ILT. it's literally an HOUR of independent time! it's amazing. my favorite teacher is Mr. Walsh. he's the funniest and nicest teacher there! To all the sixth graders reading this, i hope you have the best year ever here. :)"

"Teachers weren’t the best. A few were really good, more really bad and a lot were just mediocre. Cliques and drama were borderline tribal, but I hear that’s a common trait for middle schools, so whatever. The artsy environment made up for everything, though. Being encouraged to express myself through art and the access to these sorts of resources was amazing. Despite suffering through the atrocious horrors of Mrs. Stratton’s class and the fact that my middle school years were the worst of my life for more than a few reasons, when I look back at Rollings, I look back fondly. Instead of the bad, I mostly remember the good about my education. I suppose there’s just something about it. Middle school sucks, but Rollings makes it not so bad."

"This school is amazing! Mr. Vick and Mrs. Moody are the best teachers there!! Especially in 8th grade there are many teachers rooms open for you to eat lunch/hangout and do work. You will want to find some really good people to be around and hang out for the whole 3 years. Also remember to hide babies in Mr. Peters class because it makes him very confused and it's funny."

"I love this school so much! Everyone there is so accepting, and the teachers are AWESOME! This is my last year and all three have been great. Even though I'm straight, I know for an absolute FACT that this school is very friendly to LGBT+. I'm in Theatre, but all the cores are good. Just watch out, though. Rollings is VERY cliquey. You have a friend group, and you stay with that group. If you leave to join another, they WON'T let you back in. Other than that, everything and everyone is really nice."

"I don't know if I could have had a more wonderful experience in middle school. I have never met so wonderful friends if I hadn't attended this school. The teachers were so kind and caring, you could also tell that they loved there job and loved being there everyday which just made the experience there even better! All of the teachers I had were amazing and I couldn't have asked for better. I loved going to school everyday knowing that I would always be safe and that I would learn something new and interesting. The teachers also had something with every student that you normally don't see in most schools, a relationship to where they can relate to you and understand your struggles in that class. As far as the core art classes and teachers go, they were very nice and taught me so much about theatre that I could have never imagined!! I have never had such a wonderful experience and most 100% recommend you or your child try out!! I am very sad that I will have to leave this school this year. I am very thankful for the wonderful opportunity to learn what I did and met who I did!!"
