We were nervous about enrolling our daughter here, but have been pleased with the smooth transition. She loves her classes and especially enjoys band. It helps if your child has good grades and can be in the advanced classes. Discipline has not been a problem; I think the administration has worked hard to correct past problems. I'd like to see administration encourage more parent invovlvement opportunities and not just "parenting/discipline" classes. Parents are an untapped resourse at this school.

There are bad teachers, good teachers and outstanding teachers like everywhere else in this school district. I think the problem is that this school is in a Barrio area where most people are uneducated and have no intention in giving intellectual, moral or social instruction to their own children; thus, resulting in extremely bad behavior. It is a constant struggle for teachers to focus on academics when there is so much interruption. The UIL/GT/Leader In Me programs among other extra-curricular activities are great but it’s the parent that needs to sign up the student. Unlike before when students were chosen, by their teachers, for their own academic achievement/talent. The GT program is a joke; my children were nominated several times during their time at RCE, both A Honor Roll students. My oldest mastered the STAAR test since year one and still was not chosen. I did notice during award ceremonies that many GT students didn’t even make it up the stage to receive the A/B Honor Roll award. Another observation, most students in GT are the ones related to staff or VIP parents.If you are stuck in this school, or school district, find ways to help your child succeed, communicate any concerns with his/her teachers, and stay informed.
