9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you like small town cliques, nepotism, and lazy teachers, this is the place for you! Conformity is key and the level of entitlement high. There are some good kids that come from this school, and their character has been strengthened from the determination needed to get something out of the Rtc experience.Parent Review3y ago - Round Top-Carmine Elementary School
