Making the decision tto allow my 5th grader to gain life experience was extremely difficult, especially as an educator that had him in the same school where I teach. I shook my head all the distance through the neighborhood and until I met the Administration and some of the staff. I knew from meeting them that although the neighborhood seemed a bit rough around the edge to speak frankly, my grandchild would be safe and well educated. He has excelled and the admin and staff truly cares about each child's individual needs to be successful as they grow in life. I wish they went to the 6th so he could gain another year of life, culture, growth and learning. Although I experienced a bump, with what could be bullying, it was appropriately handled and in a positive manner teaching rather than taking away. Excellent staff and administration,counselor, clubs, activities, far exceeds and reveals the pearl ( RL Brown) inside the oyster shell (the surrounding community area. Although I am at an A plus school, if RL Brown had the same opportunities, that staff would be rated A Plus and School of excellence. I am not able to give 4.5 stars so I rounded up.
