This school is no different then any average school. My son is on his 4th year in this school and my daughter in her 2nd...There are still the same type of kids with foul language and bully behavior although the school has a no /low tolorance for any of that. Keep in mind this is a public school so you

My child has been at Reid Ross since July of 2007. It is a pretty good school so far as academics are concerned. The teachers seem pretty helpful and encouraging. The administration is very hands on and I appreciate that. I have two children starting this July, so I will have a new, and I hope better
... Read more review to state. I do believe they should offer more extra-curricular activities and the way the economy is going, either an ROTC program or work with another school to provide this opportunity. If they can allow some of the students to tryout and become EE Smith cheerleaders, they should surely provide or be in conjunction with another for an ROTC program. Read less

I am a student at Reid Ross currently, and I would like to say that I do not think any parents should put their children in this school. This school is horrible to their students. The old principal was so much better, and the new one does not know how to run a high school. She never gives the students
... Read more anything to look forward to. They really do concentrate more on the uniform then they do on our education. The teachers are terrible, and I feel as if I haven't learned anything from the teachers the whole time I've been there. I've had to teach myself everything, due to the fact that the teachers can't teach. I could probably even make a book about everything wrong with that school. They could at least give us sports, then maybe we'd have school spirit and something to look forward to. Read less

This school is a terrible school. I would not recommend it to any other of the parents out there. The school was fine until about a year ago went things started to go downhill. The new principal is terrible, she treats the children like they are in elementary and the staff talks to the children in way
... Read more that they should leave up to the parents. They concentarte too much on the uniform policy to even notice that the test scores have gone down very much. I would not recommend this school to any other parents Read less
In the beginnning of the classical school, the principal talked about excellency and being the top-rated school. And how it was going to be a waiting list. Although the principal had good intentions. My children and I have been there since it was classical. The only thing that I have seen the Administration
... Read more progress on was dress-code and discipline/punishment. Not so much as academics.Academics is more than EOG/EOC test scores. Students will learn better if they were given a positive feedback on their academics and attitude about the school than dress-code and punishment. The awards are not recieved and the students are not recognized on a consistent basis. Overall the school is based upon test scores and false hope of being the top school.Also I would think that if the school had sports that the students will have more school spirit as a team.

Reid Ross Classical is a fine school,my child loves it. With all good things their is some bad. Though my child loves the school there are somethings she doesn't care for. Like the dress code in the winter it is cold in the schools at times and you can only wear the school jackets. I have purchased a
... Read more jacket for me child. It comes to my attention that some children can not afford a jacket so what are they to do? I love the learning environment for my child but some of these guidelines are not to my liking. You can only wear a certain solid color sock? Who is going to be looking at your socks. Also I have noticed that some of the prinicpals like to use intimedation on the children. That is just wrong. Over all it is a good school but disipline is not always the key. Read less

The academic programs here at Reid Ross are excellent, and I believe it is more to the credit of the teachers rather than our principal. She does distribute the growth tests, however it seems that she acts more as a cheerleader than an actual leader. As the years have gone along, our population has
... Read more increased, and the discipline in the student body has decreased. Now I'm not saying it has become some terrible eye-sore, but I have been here at Reid Ross since it became classical. There has deffinately been a drop in the discipline in the student body. I've heard students talk back to teachers that would have gotten me beat publically. The disrespect is obscene, and by the time the class of 2006 graduates, the level of intelligent and polite individuals will dramatically decrease. Read less
