I had a bad experience in preschool. The teacher didn't integrat my daughter warmly, she was a new student, and the teacher did not communicate to me that my daughter was playing alone during recess and that the kids were bullying her. My daughter communicated this to the teacher. It was my daughter who told me, not the teacher about this situation.The teacher was always busy, there was never enough time to discuss concerns.The teacher is new and did not have enough experience.There were more than 3 incidents that I did not like. I will be absent this year. My daughter will go to another school for kindergarten.

As a military family, we have lived all over the country and two locations overseas. My children have attended 11 schools in total and Randolph was by far the worst experience we have ever had. First, there are NO honors classes for 9th or 10th grade in core curriculum classes, while all the surrounding school districts have honors classes for all grade levels If you have a child that comes to Randolph as a freshman or sophomore, they will not give you credit for the honors classes that your child took at another school, thus lowering their GPA. Their excuse was that since they do not offer those classes it wouldn't be fair to the current students. I think the term they used was, " We have to find a way to level the playing field." I talked to the head administrator Dr. Holt, two principal's, and school board many times about this issue over the past three years and NOTHING was done. I was asking them to improve the academics of the school, and to award students who move into the school with honors credits, instead of punish them. I thought this was the reason we see our kids to school anyway. I was mistaken. The hidden agendas and mismanagement of funds by the head administrator are beyond embarrassing. I could go on for days. Please do your research before sending your child to this high school. Randolph is a PUBLIC school, located on a military base, which gives the impression that it's a quality school. It is not. My child was zoned to Randolph because my husband's job required him to live on base. Although the surrounding schools may have a lower great schools rating I would encourage you to look at their IBA program and honors programs which offer many honors classes and a variety of elective classes that Randolph does not. I have no idea how Randolph got a rating of 8/10.

This school was probably a really good school at some point, but it no longer is one I would recommend. It was a good environment for military children where they could attend school with others in similar situations with constant moves and other stresses of the military family life. However, the staff's unwillingness to address bullying and other behavior issues with senior officers' children have allowed a toxic environment to develop. Additionally, they were sympathetic to the learning experience of military children in that they would allow children to continue to attend after their parents retired out of the military in the local area or they moved off base for other reasons. Lately they have booted everyone's children who weren't active duty and living on base causing some to even have to start at a new school their senior year. Additionally, their "no homework" construct and everyone getting a second chance to correct answers missed on tests policies do not prepare children for real schools where they must learn time management and actually how to study. Definitely look elsewhere before considering this school.
