Royal High School

Very poor quality school. Don't send your kids here. I sent my 14-year-old daughter, Mimi, to this school earlier this year. After three days of attending, Mimi fought with a student who threatened to take her lunch money. Thankfully, she won, but her bully pulled all her hair out, leaving Mimi baldheaded. Do not send your children to this school.

Royal high school does not have a credit recovery program of any kind, which explains their extremely high drop out rate. When I inquired about a credit recovery program the lady on the phone actually laughed at me and then blamed the size of the school district. I am not sure what district size has to do with anything Royal elementary can be explained by this: my child is a 5th grade student and was reading the novel War of the Worlds (brought from home) in the school library. The teacher took away the book and insisted on a picture book from their selection, which was fine, until I received a progress report saying that my kid reads at level for 5th grade. If you don’t allow the children to read above level they won’t be able to rank any higher/above level. Instead of just standing back and letting the students challenge themselves and achieve on their own, they actually are going out of their way to hold them back.

Don't choose this school district! If you have a choice, don't choose this for your child/children. The entire risd is incompetent, in every way and every aspect from transportation and up. The buildings have mold and roaches, ceilings missing in parts, no bathrooms that are usable for 8th graders, the list could go on and on. I have a child in each school here, ecc, elementary, jh and high school and I'm finally going to be able to get them out of there. I'm happy but more importantly, my kids are happy and will be finally be receiving a good education. Risd is the absolute bottom feeders as far as school districts go.

This is a terrible establishment. It is ridded with roaches and rats, I see them everyday. The kids and teachers here bully relentlessly, and the teachers lack experience. Do not choose this school.

i hate this school with all my heart :-)
