Roosevelt High School

Good day I was called in to sign an acceptance letter for my daughter grade8 2025. On arrival to the school I was told a R4000 need to be paid like today if that not paid then I can't sign the letter why was this not told to me on the phone. So I have 2 daughters who I want to put in the school and the amount now becomes R8000. Who has that type of money in the middle of the month. And why is it I'm not even told I can pay it off. I'm a single father only trying to give the best to my 2 girls. The school was no help at all. I then also asked if I could apply for a subsidy they said forms only get issued February 2025. Why call me in and get my hopes up and then when getting there it's just money.

Administration is the worst, I applied for admission in August 2022 and was told that I should get feedback by Dec which obviously did not happen. Each time I call to follow up on my application around Dec I was told to call the following week which I did and each week would be call the following week uo until the schools closed. Today is the 6th of January 2023 and schools are opening in 4 days time for the new academic year: I still do not have a response on whether my child was accepted or not. Do they not think about the parents and kids and that we can not be informed 2 days before schools open of the outcome? So disappointed

This school is just bad. Teachers are racist and rude for no reason. They care more about the uniform than they care about the education. We sit on the quad for not wearing our flag badge? So you are telling me a badge is more important then me gaining any knowledge? As a student I definitely recommend some other school. The amount of unnecessary actions this school takes is just ridiculous. We have to take the same bags and this then comes to us losing our bags because of mix ups. Although this school has decent facilities , i would not in a million years recommend this school

It's just a bad school lol

Anyone looking to come to Roosevelt. Don't. As a teenager and young adult you need to be able to grow and develop and figure life out while mainting good academics. Roosevelt maintains good academics but at the cost of a loss of self image and is an oppressed environment where students are bullied by the head staff. Students are treated as if they are students in the military.
