Our family loves Rio! The principal is amazing and fair. Her child attends the school so she is certainly designing a school she would want her child to attend.

Administration & staff are professional, caring and have high, yet realistic expectations for students. My child loves the afterschool program and all of the extracurricular activities.

We absolutely love Rio! We were bit worried based on the reviews, but we are very happy with our child's experience so far. Teachers and staff are very friendly and hands on. My son loves his principal and librarian! No issues with bullying either. My son comes home happy every day.
