Richmond Technical Center

They don’t care about these children.. they are fake and they smile in your … when it comes to IEP‘s. Oh you could forget about it they know nothing about it and they’ll fail your child and won’t give your child the necessities and the education that they need. Credits oh, you can forget about it. The school is failing you and your child because you always need credits when it comes to college and moving forward in the proper education to get the proper career so these children do not end up in places that they shouldn’t be because of the school district as parents we could do both so much and teach our children, but so much, but when they don’t have the proper education at school, especially they are never gonna learn anything.

RWS has been a blessing to both our family, but most importantly to our daughter. She is about to graduate from RWS this coming summer 2024 and her development, growth, learning experience and just overall day to day school life has been truly a blessing and true excellent educational opportunity. It is a genuine and very supportive community that we have come to care and value as part of our extended family.Key faculty members that certainly make a difference and allow the experience, engagement. education and support to become more valuable are Mr. Andrew Ross - Director of Administration, Ms. LaToya Good - Administration Assistant, Mrs. Sarah Hayward - 8th grade teacher, Ms. Noelle Mckown, Mrs. Irina Baranova - Russian teacher, Mrs. Margaret Ayre - Music teacher, Mrs. Letitia Amey - 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Mary Willard - Business Office Manager, Mrs. Cathyrn Bump - Handwork teacher, Mrs. Rachel White York - High School Transition Coordinator and many more...

The culture of the school is one of commitment to the student holistic education and development. I am frequently at the school in supportive roles and encounter courtesy, enthusiasm, cooperation, and genuine caring for one another.

My child attended this school for 2 years from 1st to 2nd grade. The education is good; however, the leadership is bad. From the start, my family felt the school was just interested in our money. I understand that the school is a for profit organization, but it is also supposed to be Christian, with Christian values. Constantly asking us to give to their capital campaign and increasing tuition for no specific reason, does not make us feel very welcome other than for the purpose of taking our money. And we have the money to give because my husband and I are in professional fields. However, the administrators at this school are trying to treat this school like it is a college, and it is certainly not. I'm sorry, but I am not support your fund for building field house for tennis courts. How about we do better with the math curriculum? Second, the parents at the school are mostly snobs. I would say 75% of them come from wealth, and therefore expect you to wear name-brand outfits at pickup, but then don't pay attention to their kids when they are on the quad fighting or leaving their babies on the ground for all the germs to get them. You can feel the tension from the group staring at you when you aren't wearing that $500 jacket or boots. The families that go to Veritas do not conform to the Christian way even though they limit what their children listen to on the radio or watch on tv. Third, we only sent our daughter here but for the proximity to our house. Definitely not the Harvard of the South, so please don't send your child and pay that extra money for connections alone. While education is important, we think that it is important for our child to go to a school that cares about the child not just the money.
