My daughter entered the REAL School as a sixth grader. On Friday, June 5th, 2009, she graduated from the REAL School. The school has been a wonderful family-like learning environment that made her success possible. After putting my son through the horrors of Racine's public schools - middle and high

I do agree that extracurricular activities are not great, but the education is exceptional and it challenges the kids to learn in real-life scenarios. My daughter and her graduating class received a combined $800K plus in scholarships this year. For a class of 36 students - that speaks for itself. Thank you, Willie and Al for your vision and dedication. We love you! Read less

The school is a positive for the community. Read less

Although i do love the real school. i have to ask how they got 4 stars for extracurricular activities. I think that is the one and only downfall of the school. They really have none.

I began attendance at the R.E.A.L. school in the fall of 2001, after 'touring more-than-my-share of high schools,' and I fell in love with the schoool and it's administration.
