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.

I've gone here since kindergarten and a lot has changed. The school has become more lenient on important things and more strict on stupid things. The academics are pretty good and the teachers are very interactive and care about the kids and their education. I wish there was more school spirit and better athletics but overall it is an okay school.

In reflecting on my education experience with an inadequate Individualized Education Program (IEP), I would rate it as 2 out of 5. The IEP's intention to cater to my specific learning needs fell short due to a lack of personalized teaching methods that aligned with my learning style. The support sys...

I have attended RA for a while. Not nearly as long as others, but a significant time. I can say that without a doubt the school has changed me for the better. I was very different when I attended my town’s public school. I feel that the small community at RA has truly benefitted me. That being said,...
