The only reason I rate this school with 2 stars is because when we moved to the area back in 2016 it really was an excellent school, offering quality education and healthy environment for the kids. We got lucky having that for our older child. Not so much now with the younger one. Since the old principal moved to RHHS, there is a drastic decline in education quality. Good teachers with experience are few and far in between. Bullying is ever present - from both teachers and other children. Kids are "punished" by methods that seem to be taken right out of Medieval Times. Running laps in the scorching heat, eating lunch in the hallways, endless repetition for the entire class if one kid is not paying attention, name it, it is probably done. We are talking about very young children here. How is this in any shape or form formative, educational or teaches anything to a 6 year old? We are talking about negligible infractions like asking to borrow a pencil from a classmate. Homework has been non-existent from first to third grade. Inadequate or complete lack of feedback. If you don't spend time with your child at home to teach them to read for example, you can forget they will learn in the classroom without attending additional classes. Teachers are hired right out of college, inexperienced, sharing personal inappropriate information with the kids on regular basis. Kids are yelled at and harshly disciplined by teachers who do not understand the concept of education and treat the classroom as a personal space instead of a place where they have the ultimate power to shape kids minds. The school is going from bad to worse and the principal doesn't seem to have a grasp on how to improve current conditions. If you can send you child to a private school, this may be a better choice.
