In January 2008, I removed my 4 year old son from a daycare to The Rhodes School. After 3 weeks of enrollment, my son was able to write/spell his first and last name and was able to count from 1 to 100. In addition, he was able to write/spell 3 to 4 letter words. The Pre-K teacher was very patient

Most of the other parents I talk to love the school and the staff. No school is perfect, but overall, I really think this school is great! Read less
