I loved going to TRMS. Even though the campus is a bit old, the teachers are all so nice and friendly!

I've never seen anyone get bullied at school. I know that if there is ever an issue of any sort, the staff will handle the problem. Most students are well behaved and structured.

The Sciences teachers are the worst. They lack the ability to teach. The old principal and vice principal we...
