My child attended 9-12 here and graduated as the Valedictorian. With top 0.5% on SAT, was accepted into Northwestern University and is thriving there.

I have had 3 children go through this school and with each and every one of them they were treated like they didn't exist because my family wasn't "in the click".

As a student at RBCHS I really do not like this school. If you don't play a sport or if you aren't super smart or your parents don't donate half their pay checks every month you are nothing.

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.
