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.

Students have a lot of things that they can get involved in such as; Clubs,Sports,Band, and Chorus. Some students do have a hard time fitting and they can get stuck things they need to leave alone.

Our school has a officer watching out for the students at our school and once in a while we might see a officer with a drug dog making sure any students are not hiding and keeping drugs in their lockers or book bags. If you are not feeling well you go to the nurses office or the nurse comes to take you make sure you are really okay. Our School practices fire, intruder, earthquake, and tornado drill to prepare students for the unexpected.

In my short time at RMS I've had the pleasure of being welcomed by staff, teachers, and students alike. The school really strives to interact as "One School One Heartbeat" and it shows in the day to day. There isn't a normal week at RMS because there is some event, activity, or special learning proj...
