10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love Romona! Our kids are excited to go to school every day and the teachers and administration make it easy to communicate with them and know what’s happening at school. As someone who didn’t love going to school, I’m so happy to see my kids excited almost everyday to go learn.Parent Review1y ago - Marie Murphy School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDuring our time at the school, leadership changed frequently, including multiple principals, assistant principals, the Dean of Students, and many teachers.
