The school district is a complete joke, I had a bad feeling about this school from the beginning. I requested to have my son transferred to another school prior to starting and the district denied me every time, a long with my appeal. My son is very bright and ahead for his grade. Normally TK hours at other schools are only 4-5 hours ,at Los amigos it was over 6 hours long, not to mention they did the same thing all day long nothing new or different. My son loved prek but when he came here for tk he was a different child, he would cry and beg me every night not to take him to school, he’d have to be pulled in by the school staff into class because he’d grab me and cry saying mommy please don’t leave me here, he was sad every day for a whole month and half. I tried to talk to the teacher and she acted like everything was normal, I tried to talk to the district again to plead them to allow my transfer they told me I’m only allowed one transfer request a year and once they deny my appeal there’s nothing else I can do. After weeks of searching I ended up finding a TK program with the city of Ontario and guess what ? My little boy was back to normal, smiling laughing, going into class with ease, it wasn’t til later that year that my son finally opened up to me at Los amigos on how kids were mean there and the teachers and staff did nothing, how they would just do the same thing over and over and that the teachers weren’t nice. If everything at Los amigos was normal, then how did my son go from depressed and hating school and then once I changed the environment he went to loving school and wanting to go every day? All the school cares about is attendance, all they care about is how much money they can put into their pockets from the bodies that attend; they aren’t concerned with the well being of children. If I say I can feel my son is being bullied, he deserves a better education please accept my transfer, and they continuously deny it, it’s heartbreaking . At the end of his TK he begged me not to go back to Los Amigos so we ended up moving.

i completed all 3 years at rcms (finished in 2023) and attend rancho cucamonga high school. some main things i remember is it always got worse every year when it came to fights and kids would do things whether teachers/proctors were watching or not. my friend was getting dragged in the field trying to get his hoodie back and there a proctor watching and not interfering. i would say half the proctors there actually will keep things in check and come running if there’s a fight. i say and my point is i didnt believe in safety. been reading some other newer reviews and i find them most displeasing as well seeing the school replying to one of these reviews denying the school not to be what a review said it was. it might irrational to go off that particular review but when i finished 8th grade at rcms nothing really improved when it came to fights. you gotta really watch your mouth if you are a kid here cause other kids will get themselves and their friends on you. word spreads like lightning in this school when it comes to drama. something also to note is there is countless instagram pages made by students that have rcms in the usernames with fight videos/drama/some concerning screenshots of texts. when it comes to teachers i think most are great, the only problem is majority of kids do NOT care about their grades and this is factual given the school ratings on here. making friends is easy but its who you make friends with that is the thing, most crowds wont be good at all. speaking to counselors/staff about any drama or any problems only helps you half the time. i actually remember getting punched in the stomach in 6th grade PE and i told my mom who furiously contacts the school about it and i talk to a counselor and i told her all i wanted to do was switch periods and it never was granted for me cause it was so close to the end of the school year. also there was zero disciplinary action or punishment for that kid. and it sucks cause my friend got pushed around by that same kid the same year. and you guessed it, nothing happened. i only have a dozen more stories and the only thing rcms is good is teaching your kid the real world when you arent successful and are led down a bad path. if any rcms staff reviews this, i just hope the school becomes safer, then you guys can worry about tackling other problems.

They do not support their students!! Isn’t prom SUPPOSED to be the Junior/senior prom ie SENIOR PROM. FINAL! Kids work hard 4 yrs looking forward to senior festivities AND PROM!! Colony currently 2022-23 is targeting the Sophomore Junior population. That is discrimination!! And those children have the opportunity to go prom in their Jr senior year. BEYOND DISAPPOINTED
