Red River Junior High School

I have a son that was misdiagnosed at birth. Doctors said he was developmentlly delayed. It wasn't till he was about 4 when we found out he was profoundly deaf. After he received his cochlear implant, I inrolled him into Red River Elementary at age 4 with no language or speech what so ever. These wonderful Teachers were so loving and caring to my little boy. most importantly they were so experienced they were able to recognize that my little boy was very smart and simply needed language. With their professional option in writing it allowed my son into a privet school in San Francisco Ca. where we spent the next 3 years in a very intense Auditory oral program. In 2013 school year we returned home enrolling him back into Red River Elementary with still a lot of work ahead of us. Everyone has stepped up and has gone above and beyond to help my little boy. With the caring and loving additudes, professional experience and hardwork of Red River Elementary School, my little boy is in main stream 1st grade, reading writing and having conversations. just had an IEP on April 16th 2014 and the accommodations they provided were amazing. Thanks to Red River my son can speak and hear

Having another child in college already, I can tell you from experience the school s atmosphere and communication concerns for your child (and about your child) is as very much important as the education itself. I researched schools for many years while working for a local media company.I toured almost every private school K-12 in EBR. We choose RCA for the curriculum (A Beka), social experiences my child may receive (after all we ll be with these classmates for the next 12 years), family atmosphere, & complementary values. In comparison to tuition rates, it s the best value in area. I received hand written thank you cards for my interest in the school, follow up phone calls, and several positive contacts prior enrollment. We adore the Kindergarten teacher. She sends home a daily conduct chart and notes. I have popped-in , unannounced, to join classes, Chapel, and other activities during school hours. I have observed other classrooms and staff. I have spoken to other parents and they all have positive things to say. Each encounter has been pleasant; every question (& concern) had been addressed immediately. Thus far, we are very pleased with our decision to attend RCA.
