My personal experience with this school was really bad unfortunately. I’m currently a senior right now. But all the things I went threw happened when I was a freshman. And I’m now in virtual homeschooled. 1.) The school is extremely overpopulated and it’s hard to quickly evaluate the building in emergency situations.2.) My whole freshman year I didn’t do any work I sat in class on my phone all day because when ever the teacher would try to start a lesson the students would be disrespectful. So a lot of them gave up. 3.) I feel like a lot of the staff don’t care about the student or their well being. It’s disorganized.4.) Bullying and fighting happen all the time. Kids are aggressive and I’ve noticed how to security guards take there time breaking up fights. 5.) They locked the bathroom to prevent student from skipping class in them even tho that didn’t help at all. 6.) Good luck trying to get on the bus because there’s not enough room for them. And the secretaries get an attitude when you tell them that you need a ride home. 7.) And none of the staff will listen or even try to positively change some things in that school. The book we learn in are out of date and scribbled in. They just don’t care. They don’t. It’s all about the money for them I can tell. And there probably never gonna change unfortunately. I wouldn’t recommend having your kids go to this school. Or at least trying out homeschooling instead. Especially if your kid suffers from anxiety, or other mental health. They don’t accommodate well for kids with special needs. They wouldn’t let me leave to go to a break room when I was about to have a panic attack. Even tho it’s stated on my IEP that I can leave the classroom to go to a break room when every I feel uncomfortable.

Yet another encounter with this school. A teacher decided it's OK to stand in the middle of the street to block cars from passing and giving van's the opportunity to come and go quickly. When I asked her is it legal to stand infront of cars to let a van pass, she stated "van's have priority over cars". Yet when I checked the state law only A1 and A2 school buses have priority when flashing their lights. The lies the teachers will tell just to feel superior is astonishing!

Teachers try their hardest to educate their students. Unfortunately parents from Rdg expect the teachers to not only educate their children, but also raise them. Learn to be a parent first before blaming teachers.
