GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Used to be a wonderful school with teachers and staff who were kind, inspired and passionate about educating and nurturing K-5 students. Under the current principal, things are very different. The entire culture of the school has changed. There is no effort in supporting students with positive and proactive reinforcement. The principal comes across cold and holds K-5 students to a standard they are not developmentally always able to achieve. The district is doing a disservice to our children by keeping that principal employed at RGS.
