I am a senior attending RCTCM, and I have been at this school for four years. During that time, the school has changed for the worse. The rules, punishments, engagement, and overall experience have made school less enjoyable and less effective for students.

One major issue is that high school students are treated the same as middle school students. Seniors who are preparing for college and adulthood are given the same restrictions as younger students. Instead of being trusted with more responsibility, we are often punished for small things that should be handled differently for older students.

Another problem is the lack of fun or positive engagement. School should not only focus on rules and discipline, but also on building a community and creating experiences students enjoy. At TCM, many students feel like there is nothing to look forward to. The administration often shuts down ideas for trips, events, or activities because of rules and regulations, which lowers school spirit and motivation.

Many students also end up cheating instead of actually learning. This is not always because they do not care, but because some teachers do not explain the material clearly. Large amounts of work are given in short periods of time, and assignments are not always graded quickly. It can also be difficult to get help with missing or remedial work.

The punishments at the school also feel harsh and rushed. Students are sometimes disciplined without much discussion or understanding of the situation. Discipline should help students learn from mistakes, not just punish them.

Seniors especially feel disrespected. After spending four years at this school, our opinions often feel ignored even though we have the most experience with how the school works.

Overall, the school environment could improve if administration listened more to students, treated high schoolers with more respect, and focused more on improving teaching and engagement rather than only increasing rules and punishments. Students want to succeed, but the environment needs to support that goal.

RCTCM isnt too shabby, but if youre eyeing or diving into high school, this is your playground! It's more of a high school haven than a middle school hangout, with a buffet of tech classes that high schoolers feast on. The learning here is top-notch, revealing secrets most kids your age might never uncover. But, teachers seem to leave a bit of the heavy lifting to the students. The kids? They're fine, but the school could sprinkle more magic on sports and tech for everyone. So, if you want your kid to learn, pack their bags for RCTCM! Just brace yourself for some "I dont like it here" chatter at the dinner table.

This school can be very chill at times when there is no drama. The teachers can be rude and sometimes talk about the students when the student is right there. You would think the students would talk about each other which they do but teachers talk about students. If you have a child that loves to do things and like play sports and be active dont send them here. This school can drain your child and make them antisocial and depressed.

My child has come home on multiple occasions saying how he doesnt like school. So i told him give me updates on how school is. From what he has told me the teachers do their best and teach well. But, the some students arent good at learning. He also tells me that some teachers are disrespectful and lie on students. He said a teacher kicked out multiple students for being disrespectful when they didnt do anything. I do think that every child that wants to learn and retain great information and studies should go here. But if not you shouldnt. Gathering what my child has told me this school isnt a bad school ;academics are above average and high grad. rate. But when it comes to the whole experience its partially great. If anything could change it would be to make rules specific and dont leave areas where students can get in trouble for not following it. One final thing; parents as well as teachers need to recognize that these children are our future we put them in school to learn and learn only. Dont give these students a hard time because one day they might be the ones taking care you (you never know) and that discipline is necessary but only to an extent not over-doing it. Overall this school is a 7.9-8.1/10.

I generally like this school because of my friends.But regrading everything else I dont. I like that we have opportunities to learn things beyond are grade level but the whole experience isnt the best. I know that school isnt about a good experience and being fun but instead the work. But some teachers dont care and are disrespectful. The principal does her best to resolve conflict but some of the administrators are so disappointing. Im not saying that its always the teachers, because students sometimes fight and there is a lot of conflict.I do think that if your child can take this then keep them here but if not then pull them right out. This isnt a bad school but its not the best school in the county.
