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.

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.

Excellent school. My children learn very well. My wife and I love when we are invited to see their work where they present proudly. Many good programs and my kids love the PE rooms with the obstacle courses.

I graduated from RLA and was well prepared for college. The dual classes at FSU and GCSC helped. I am happy I attended RLA. It provided me with a good education and environment. I recommend my family and friends to go to it. My education was much more advanced than my friends at public and private schools in Panama City. I also had very good support for my college application. The school actually had college application experts from IVY league schools work with the seniors. We all got full scholarships.

It's the best school. The academics are great and so many activities for students. They have two foreign languages from kindergarten. They do expeditions or projects with hands on which I have not seen in any other school.

We love this school. My children are challenged and do a lot of hands on learning. There is a lot of work which I love. Students who work hard struggle everywhere so it’s best to push them which is what they do. They also have a great gym and music class

My kid went to this school for 2 years. Still can't read or write the way it should be. Math scores are horrible. They just keep passing my kid to the next class even when he is not doing well.
