Rockwall ISD Administration Building - Rockwall, Texas

Sean C. (. C.

I’m incredibly disappointed with Rockwall ISD. Over the past year, our experience has been nothing short of frustrating due to the district’s handling of bullying. It’s astonishing how a school system that should foster learning and growth has instead become a breeding ground for bullying, with no real action taken to stop it.

The administration, particularly at J.W. Williams Middle School, has shown a shocking disregard for the well-being of students who fall victim to this behavior. Time and time again, when issues were brought to their attention, we were met with empty promises and dismissals. The district seems more concerned with protecting its image than actually addressing the toxic environment that’s been allowed to flourish.

What’s even more troubling is that victims are often the ones punished when they finally stand up for themselves. It’s as if the district is more interested in silencing the issue than solving it. Meanwhile, the bullies walk away without any real consequences, emboldened to continue their behavior.

But it doesn’t stop there. The district’s culture is steeped in narrow-mindedness, where if you’re not constantly talking about God, you’re treated as though you’re worth nothing. It’s disturbing to see such exclusionary practices in a public school system, especially in 2024 when diversity of thought and belief should be celebrated, not shunned.

There’s so much silly, nonsensical behavior throughout Rockwall ISD that it’s hard to believe this is an institution of learning. From the outdated and irrelevant curriculum to the district’s obsession with rigid, outdated values, it feels like stepping back in time. The staff seems more focused on maintaining control through fear and outdated beliefs than on nurturing students’ growth, critical thinking, and individuality.

It’s truly sad to see that in today’s world, a school district can still be so out of touch with the needs of its students and the realities of modern society. I can only hope that future students will see changes that create a safer, more inclusive, and genuinely supportive environment—something that is sorely lacking at Rockwall ISD.

We moved here from out of state and I'd say Rockwall ISD is phenomenal! Its fully funded and staffed with caring people, in my experience, the tech systems and educational philosophies are up to date and functional. Major upgrade from broke public schools!

We have always enjoyed the teachers and schools at RISD. It’s the main reason we moved to Rockwall.
