Rincon teachers are the best with students, and about all those rumors about fights- they are usually stopped almost right after they occur and the teachers aren't at fault, they walk around to make sure that stuff like that doesnt happen, but they are not mind readers or physics; they can't tell when or where a fight is going to happen, which doesn't happen as often as people think.

I am a parent of an 8th grade RAIS student at Rincon. The school has some great teachers, good academic programs like RAIS which is similar to the High School IB program.
