message: "The school's motto is 'Where discovery is elementary', demonstrating the claim that everything daily done at the school promotes learning (reflecting the fact that it teaches kindergarten to fifth grade)."
The motto is "Where discovery is elementary". This is a simple fact. No argument there.
The motto does not "demonstrat(e) the claim that everything daily done at the school promotes learning". (I don't see a claim that everything "daily done" promotes learning.) A motto does not "demonstrate" much of anything, other than something about the motto. I might demonstrate that the school likes to make puns or that the school wants to promote itself in a certain way, but it does not demonstrate anything about what the school does daily.
The motto does not "reflect" that the school teaches K-5. You might feel the use of the "elementary" pun has to do with the school covering K-5 and, in that sense it might reflect the school's particular belief that "elementary school" is exclusively K to 5.
TL;DR: The motto is what the motto is. Your interpretations of it are your original research and don't belong here. - SummerPhDv2.0 16:42, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

message: I'm removing the "neighborhood school" claim as unsourced as it is incompatible with the source "magnet school" claim.
A neighborhood school (in normal usage) refers to a school that takes all students from a neighborhood. If you live in Podunkville Square and are -- as a simple result of where you live -- assigned to Podunkville Square Elementary, that is your neighborhood school. 
If, OTOH, your school district has a school which draws students from various areas based on particular criteria (high math scores, performing arts talent, ability to ram your head into a wall and keep running), this would be a magnet school. Students from across Podunkville -- normally assigned to Podunk Square, East Podunk, West Podunk or Podunk Slums elementary schools -- might end up in one of the magnet schools (Math Magnet, Performing Arts Magnet or Football Magnet). - SummerPhDv2.0 16:51, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

message: I was looking for some copies of some of the newspaper articles that a previous page of the ROE Alumni site had published. Thankfully I found them again, listed at http://riveroaksalumni.org/history/

*  (does not have the whole article)
Since some of the parameters are missing, I would ask the alumni site owner if they know further details about page numbers and exact dates.
