I've came to RGPI for about and year and a half about now , I love coming here . At most school you dread to wake up and go into class but i actually look forward to coming here! Everyday is a new day and everyone here is very kind . The teachers care a lot more about your education they actually take time to know you and make sure your okay . Something great about this school is that they provide us with La Clinica De Familia they've helped me through a lot ! Over all i believe Rio Grande has great education , the teachers help you if you need help and you get to have friendships with rea her because they take the time to get to know you , I love it here
