Royal School is an excellent elementary school. At first I was reluctant to have my children go there but as I got to know the teachers and staff, I am very happy that I did send them there.

I have 5 children. My two oldest has been going to a Charter School. Unfortunately my 3rd child had to attend Royal because the Charter schoold did not have JR. K. Honestly, at first, I was disappointed because I really didn't have faith in the Public School system. But I now stand corrected. My

The cirriculum he's given is efficient for his age. He just loves school. Parents and teachers need to have open communication and SUPPORT each other. That's the only way it'll work. All we need to concentrate on is to do OUR PART as a PARENT or a TEACHER. Worrying about the other person's job is not going to help. We can't avoid challenges but we can teach our children how to overcome it. Read less

I went to royal school. The teachers really cared about us and tried the best to teach us. They even helped us after school and during winter and spring break.

I disagree with the previous 2 parents. I often visit the school 'un-announced' and have never seen a teacher hit or grab any student. As for yelling, I heard one teacher raise her voice during recess (2 boys were fighting & teasing each other). I see some teachers/staff often go out of their way

Teachers, Staff, AND PRINCIPAL! is extremely rude and has no respect. I been having so much problems with this school its fraustrating. This is my son's first year in a public school and its not one I want him to remember. I talked to some authorities and its not much they can do, they cant change people.

I was told many times I cant put him in another school cause the district. I cant wait till this school year ends. Read less
