4 years ago when we were considering schools for my son who wanted a different experience for High School than our public school we visited a few private and parochial schools. Immediately after we visited Prep he was sold. Fast forward 4 years after he got in, dealt with Covid and 4 years of learning, maturing, competing and forging relationships all I can say is we made the right choice. Were the 4 years without hiccups? Of course not, no place is perfect, but if given the choice we would send him to RPS again.

RPS is an excellent school. I love everything about it. The teachers are dedicated and the administration wants the best for every child. I would recommend RPS to any prospective parent.

My daughter is completing her freshman year at RPS. She LOVES the school, the community, sports, clubs, classes, and her teachers. We have found it to be a welcoming, inclusive environment where the students support each other. Our daughter has also become a strong self-advocate for herself too.

My child has learned a lot from the experience. He became more aware of what the academic life is going to be and what is his interest to pursue. He gained confidence and pride for his achievements in the school.
