I been patient enough my son been out of school for 3 days all because no one picks up the phone so I am able to have them sent over his shot records to the new school so now my son is out of school for 3 days and no one seems to care so once the team in the front learns to work correctly and help the parents maybe they get a better review for me but moving forward I do not recommend the school

This is the first and only school my child has attended since moving to Columbus. She was granted a hardship to attend RRLA. In her first year attending second grade, she was an A & B student. This year my child is having trouble with math. What I discovered about her is that she did not grasp some of the basics. She has As & Bs in everything except math. Reese Road has denied my child attending their school for the 22-23 school year. Why, when they have failed her? As long as she could make them look good, statistically, she was accepted. Now they're kicking her out! Disregarding HELPING my child and ignoring the emotional impact this could have on her.

Most definitely not the school board says they have the tools to handle special need kids like autistic children but the schools head person that runs it acts like they dont and acts like its a burden on their school to handle a special needs child with autism claiming they dont have the sources to handle it but the School board says otherwise smh

My kids love their school and I am so thankful and grateful for teachers who care for their students as their own children. I can honestly say that parents who have not been involved in any of their child's school work or activities and do not show up for meetings, are the main ones who have complaints and have negative things to say about our school. My kids were blessed to have had one of the best Principal's ever, Mrs. Pendleton who is now retired, but is always coming back to visit "her kids". My boys have been attending RRLA since Kindergarten and they will continue on 'til they leave for middle school. Great job to Principal and Staff. We love you Mrs. Steinhauser!

The teachers do not care about their students. The curriculum is right off the CRCT. Bullying is a problem that is ignored. Very poor communication between staff and parents. As a military family we have seen a lot of sub- Parr schools, this is by far the worse. My kids will not be attending aging. I could go on forever about the problems bit the main issue is this town needs a clean sweep of its horrible administration.
