A Wonderful Experience at RTA!

Our son attended RTA from kindergarten through fourth grade, and we could not be happier with the experience he had. From the very beginning, he was welcomed into a nurturing and engaging learning environment that allowed him to thrive both academically and personally.

The teachers at RTA are truly exceptional—dedicated, compassionate, and deeply invested in their students’ success. They not only challenged him academically but also supported his growth with kindness and encouragement. They were supportive during hard times and were very involved with our child’s life both in and outside of school. They posted updates and photos of classroom and school activities/events - constantly including us parents in the loop. If we communicated via text or ClassDojo, we got a response quickly, sometimes immediately. As parents, we felt included and involved.

His current 5th grade teacher at his new school stated how impressed she is with how well he’s doing and how fast he learns new concepts. My son is currently reading at 10th grade level! He’s a wonderful writer, excelling in math, and loves science and soccer - RTA greatly contributed to his current interests and success, truly. Thanks to their guidance, he excelled in his studies and developed a genuine love for learning.

I will never forget the kindness shown by all staff members: from the first person we met at RTA Laura who works at the front desk who was always helpful and hard working, to our sons last teacher Ms. Andrade who our son cried for days after his last day of school… we miss and appreciate ALL staff members.

Beyond academics, RTA fostered a warm and positive community where our son felt happy. He built wonderful friendships and grew in confidence, always feeling supported by his teachers and peers. He still keeps in touch with his RTA friends!

We are incredibly grateful for the foundation RTA has given him, and we highly recommend this school to any family looking for a place where children can flourish.

A quick message from our son about RTA: Genric was my best friend, but I miss everyone. The kids were very funny. RTA had the best teachers and field trips. I wish we never moved.

My son attended this school from 1st-5th grade and I am very pleased with the teachers and most of the staff. OBVIOUSLY, we as parents should also do the work so things can go smooth.. work together with teachers as a team. I HIGHLY recommend this school.

Not recommend this school to any moms that really care about their kids.
I am a new mom, it was my first time taking my child to school. A new experience for me and my child. I wanted the best school for him. One of my friends told me about this school and my child got in.
It was the worst choice I ever made. They're sooooo racist, rude and unprofessional. I can't believe these people still exist; especially in kids schools. I tried to move him from this school in the middle of the year but I couldn't. They made him hate school and education. He used to cry everyday and not want to go.
I tried to contact his teacher she would respond in a month or sometimes never responded to any of my messages.
I thought it was normal since it's my first time. But my friend told me there is a big problem with this school. Her kids teacher sends her updates and responds to every text from the parents.
That's when I realized and noticed the difference.
I moved him this year and the difference is crazy. He really loves his new school and enjoys every second in it. Even the teacher sends me updates and it's so easy to communicate with her.

If you're thinking about this school for your kids, you still have the chance to change it and give your kids a better education and an forgettable experience.

Please take care of your little ones and chose what's really best for them!

School raised pricing on ev charging to the highest costs in county without warning. Got a bill for $20 for charging 5 minutes. Why not remove chargers or deactivate them if you dont want people parking there instead of ripping them off on EV fees? Highly concerning behavior for people responsible for raising our youth.

I don't recommend this school at all they are taking kids phones now and letting highschoolers have their phones during passing periods that's basically the whole day and they have had troubles with kids last year they let you have your phone but they have highschool have theirs during passing periods and that's the whole day I don't recommend you put your kids in this school.
