My children entered Rea View in the middle of the school year, in the middle of a pandemic. They were received with open arms and made to feel like part of the class immediately. The work load was rigorous without being too much, both classroom teachers communicated weekly, one daily via the agenda. If there was ever a concern, I felt that I could talk to the teacher. I appreciate the smooth transition to a new school and my children look forward to going back this fall.

A consistently top performing school in the state where iron sharpens iron. This is a highly sought after public school and that has not changed in the over twenty years we’ve lived in the area. Family members have graduated from MRHS after being challenged to grow and excel and have gone on to very successful college and professional careers

While the education itself is actually good and students can succeed academically, the environment completely ruins the experience. From my experience, there is a serious attitude problem among both staff and students. The vice principal and a 7th-grade English teacher consistently come across as dismissive and unprofessional, which makes students feel unheard and uncomfortable speaking up. On top of that, the student culture is extremely negative—racism and bullying are common, and kids are often openly mean to one another without consequences. What makes this worse is that the administration is aware of these issues and still chooses not to take meaningful action. Instead of addressing the racism and bullying, it feels like they would rather ignore it, which only enables the behavior to continue. A school should be a safe place for students, but this environment feels hostile and unsupportive, especially for those who are targeted. Even though the academics are strong, the level of disrespect, lack of accountability, and failure to protect students make the overall experience disappointing and honestly disgusting.
