My kids went to Randleman but it has changed 100% from back in the 90’s. There are not many activities set up for the kids to enjoy outside of the classroom. They cut out the school dances that were held twice a year. They quit having king and queen of the class and the night of games for the kids. All they want you to do is be a salesman so they can get $$$. Kids should not be salespeople. Even during covid they sent home items to sell but then had everyone mask up at school. The kids are not learning cursive in 3rd grade like the other schools are doing. They are not sending home weekly spelling words in most classes. The math is dumbed down. No help is given when a child is not picking up on something new. They just keep rolling along. If you value your child’s education then don’t send them to Randleman Elementary.

I honestly don't know how to rate a school who expects it's students to never use the restrooms. Most of them are closed during the day and time is not allowed to use the ones open. My child has suffered several UTI infections due to not being able to use the restrooms. I works give this school a negative review if I could. My child has suffered a lot due to the lack of bathroom privileges. 4 bathrooms with only one open at all times with 400+students Shame on you Randleman!

So, you might think I'm another one of those kids who just don't like school because "oh it's no fun I hate this!!!" Nope. I'm an all A's student. I was doing perfectly fine before COVID but now remote learning is screwing me up. Anyway, before the pandemic, my experience here was still mediocre. Nobody learns how to stop talking and I get punished for their actions. A lot of stuff we learn is review and I want more challenging material. Most of the teachers are great but I think it's a matter of the curriculum. A lot of emphasis is put on "tiger pride," but I don't care about that. I'm here to learn. Also, why are sports so important rather than something like band? All of the chocolate fundraising money goes to prizes or stuff I'm not involved with. I have more concerns but there's a word limit here for some reason so that's all I have to say.

As a parent I believe this school provides a great opportunity for my child to grow & blossom into a confident and successful student. The smaller classes, challenging content, and the opportunity to take college classes while still in high school brought out the drive in my child to excel. I knew it was there, it just needed the right environment to bring it out. The teachers are excellent. I just wish that this school had been around when I was in high school.
