GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

We're new to the school this year. My child transferred from another Atlanta area school. In the short time he's been there he's already experienced bullying from the other students and teachers. His homeroom teacher in particular has made disparaging remarks about him and the other children who've befriended him. So far nothing to engage or encourage him. It's very disappointing. We're looking at private schools now.

The parent-run Foundation provides fun...

If your child has an IEP I would NOT recommend this school. My child experienced being singled out by staff, his grades were not updated in the system unti...

We just finished our 6th grade year at RCMS. It was outstanding! The education is top notch! We could not have asked for a better 1st year of middle school. Each teacher truly loves teaching middle school children. We participated in band, robotics, and a few sports. Each was engaging and each teach...
