I love Resa I've went there and thanks to them I have a 4.0 GPA and have Rockford promise, the 7th grade principal is excellent with children and about half or more of the teachers are great with teaching and connecting with students!

Was a senior of class 23, overall the experience was alright but there are a good majority of students that are disrespectful to everyone around them and cause a disturbance to everyone in class, teachers are normally to nice and let them get away with it but even if they put their foot down theu get verbally assaulted by these kids. I was lucky enough to have soom good teachers but at times there would be a teacher that was passive aggressive with students. PE teachers were always late and for the 2st semester of my senior year there were times the PE teacher never showed up and this happened a few times. Fighting is a regular in stairwells and most of the time there isn't much to be done about them. Luckily they installed metal detectors so hopefully the crime goes down a bit. There is a good chance you could get assaulted or caught up in a fight so be careful. If you stick to yourself you will be fine for the most part. It's not the greatest school by any means but it isn't the worst either. I was in the service academy for public safety and I think the classes were amazing and loved the teacher for criminal justice and crime scene along with the sociology classes! Everyone has their own experience so take that into consideration if you are interested in this school. They are inclusive for kids that are part of the LGBTQ+ and have a club for those kids to have a safe space. The teacher that ran it when I was in school was lovely.

I am currently a lunch- time tutor at Riverdahl Elementary. I have been welcomed and made to feel comfortable by everyone each time I walk in the door from the secretary that greets me, to the principal as she passes by, to the teachers that stop and say hello. And the students??? Happy, well-adjusted and eager to learn. Having been brought up in a home where education was valued and reinforced daily in work and play, it has been refreshing to experience the same qualities in today's school system. In fact, I don't know which of us is learning more in our lunch-time sessions - the students or myself !
