Hello, I was a student at river city science academy from elementary school and the beginning of high school until I moved schools. I am writing this review to make people aware of the school. I will give river city science academy (rcsa) its proper credit for always keeping a safe environment for the students and staff. Many adults send they're children to river city science academy because it’s “good reputation” I say it’s there “great reputation” is gained by sweeping things under the rug. I remember I had the most traumatizing experience in this school and I was told not to discuss it with my parents that experience left me with nightmares and landed a kid in the hospital. There are no records of this but I remember it clear as day, it’s no records because they swept it under the rug. My 7th grade year at this school I was being cyber bullied and harassed by multiple students, river city science claims to have a “no bullying policy” that’s a bunch of lies they didn’t take any action even though my mother got in contact with the deans this constant bullying/ harassment didn’t stop until the school year ended. I am an African American female, there was an male student who called me a very racial slur I told my deans about it time and time again and they did absolutely nothing, them not doing anything later resulted in a fight. Many African Americans that attended this school are often looked upon as the aggressors although they don’t do anything and they are the ones getting picked on. Through out my duration at this school I became very depressed and often causing self harm to my self. This school made me feel as though I was ugly for being and African American female. I hope that this review is helpful to those who read it.
