Randleman, NC 27317

My kids went to Randleman but it has changed 100% from back in the 90’s. There are not many activities set up for the kids to enjoy outside of the classroom. They cut out the school dances that were held twice a year. They quit having king and queen of the class and the night of games for the kids. All they want you to do is be a salesman so they can get $$$. Kids should not be salespeople. Even during covid they sent home items to sell but then had everyone mask up at school. The kids are not learning cursive in 3rd grade like the other schools are doing. They are not sending home weekly spelling words in most classes. The math is dumbed down. No help is given when a child is not picking up on something new. They just keep rolling along. If you value your child’s education then don’t send them to Randleman Elementary.

Two of my kids graduated here. Very basic school. My last kid though is struggling and has some mild learning disabilities/ADHD. We meet, they say they will try something, in 2 weeks it fails.. he’s forgotten about. Repeat. He wants to drop out and the assistant principal said there’s programs for at risk kids. So I called and there’s not. The principal suggested him getting GED when he’s 16 or to be homeschooled.

So, you might think I'm another one of those kids who just don't like school because "oh it's no fun I hate this!!!" Nope. I'm an all A's student. I was doing perfectly fine before COVID but now remote learning is screwing me up. Anyway, before the pandemic, my experience here was still mediocre. Nobody learns how to stop talking and I get punished for their actions. A lot of stuff we learn is review and I want more challenging material. Most of the teachers are great but I think it's a matter of the curriculum. A lot of emphasis is put on "tiger pride," but I don't care about that. I'm here to learn. Also, why are sports so important rather than something like band? All of the chocolate fundraising money goes to prizes or stuff I'm not involved with. I have more concerns but there's a word limit here for some reason so that's all I have to say.

This school has amazing teachers, many of whom are in-depth in their curriculum and actually seem to enjoy what they teach. This is one of the few schools in Randolph County where the majority of students are engaged and thriving academically. There is so much support and opportunities at RECHS, especially with the college side program. Although there are no traditional sports teams, this school is a great place for students who care about their future opportunities. Their BETA program is outstanding. I wish this school had more budgeting so that some teachers wouldn't have to be let off anymore. This school is very safe and has an amazing community. There are truly no toxic students here. This school is truly drug and conflict-free, compared to many other high schools.
