I am a student that currently goes to RCMS and sure it's got it's kinks and whatever, but really it's not completely the staff's fault. The real problem at RCMS is that we get kids with no home training and when the kids come to school here, they come to play and not learn. The students at RCMS, not

If parents would control their kids at home and set higher standards for them than yes, RCMS would be one of the top-ranking schools in Alabama.

People should be very careful of sending their kids there. Some of the teachers are very petty and they don't help the kids enough. I have no respect for the principal she has done nothing to fix the school as yet.

I will not recommend no one to RCMS school because there is a lack of concern from the principal down to some of the teachers and i feel if you do not have good leadership what do you expect of the kids.

I am NOT pleased with this school at all. From bullies to curriculum this school is the worst. Children have been assaulted bullied and the staff does nothing to rectify the situation. The whole staff is just there to collect a paycheck without having to work for it during the time our children suffer

I have a child who has been at RCMS for the last two year. I must say that I am pleased with all the changes that have taken place since Dr. Ramsey has become principal. The faculty and staff have adopted her philosophy that students are the number one priority. The students seem to enjoy school more.
... Read more I have been told that attendance is up and students are given more opportunities to participate in activities. If RCMS stays on its current path, I see nothing but good things ahead. Many parents who are unhappy with the school are those whose children are behavior problems or they want their children to receive special treatment. Good job. RCMS for taking a stand for education Read less

I feel that the RCMS needs better leadership. I have two boys that attend this year and it seems as though the current administration is more worried about shirts being tucked in than the education of its students. My oldest son was out of school for three days due to an illness back in the first of

This brings my son's grade point average down and we are currently applying for a scholarship to another school district. I'm sure that won't impress the scholarship committee at all. You can bet if his shirt had been untucked or he had been wearing something considered 'offensive' that would warrant attention from the administration. Priorities need to be re evaluated! Read less

I have 6 children who attend schools in the russell county school district 4 of the 6 have finally moved on to the High School. Out of the schools I am the most displeased with the Middle school. I feel like most (not all) of the teachers do not care about the students and are just there to draw a paycheck.
... Read more I feel that students are treated different depending on the color of their skin their are different standards set. The middle school started a program last year that was suppose to help students who were in advance classes earn credits toward high school. My child took those classes and needed to take the second half of those classes this school year to get the credits they decided to not continue on with it this year. They should not start anything they are not willing to finish. Read less
