I don't blame the staff completely for student's behaviors. The parents need to truly care for their children and instill respect and responsiblity in their homes first, schools are not there to teach behavior, children should come with the basics already, respect, responsiblity, and the desire to learn.

Hot Warning! Please do not send your child(ren) to this school(zoo). RMS is a hostile environment. Therefore, you can't expect the children to learn. The whole school district needs to be re-evaluated. The staff don't have the motivation or patience to teach. The community needs to stop being so lazy

My son is a 6th grader. Since the beginning of the year I have not experienced anything negative only positive. That positivity started at the back to school rally at the park. Mr. Holden was, and still is, very personable as well as his staff. He has always been will to stop and discuss my son's progress
... Read more even if I didn't have an appointment. The teachers I've met have been very courteous and concerned. They do not hesitate to call nor speak to me concerning my son's well-being. My son has maintained Principal Honor Roll since the beginning of the year with straight A's. I say 'kudos' to Mr. Holden and his staff. With sincere parental support and involvement, RMS can be nothing but successful but it all starts at home. Proper discipline (homework, self-esteem, etc.) makes the teacher's job easier to better educate our children. Read less

I do not recommend sending your child(ren) to this until they clean up the staff. Not only do they have no patience for the kids but their attitudes and practices of those of a prison gaurd! The front desk clerks have no PATIENCE! True half of the student population is african american/low income but

I am parent/gaurdian of 2 rms students. For the past 3 years I may have seen the principal once which was at a meeting in which he said nothing that made sense. The administrative staff/some faculty have great expectations that a majority of the students are going to fail! Well I don't think it's fair.
... Read more They (staff) have no patience what's so ever they expect for the kids to use harsh words first thing they yell-suspension. I just think that they need to get faculty and staff with the credentials to teach our children and not judge them. They can learn a lot from Ms Dixon! Read less
