They only have 1 math tutor for 4+5th grade who can only spend time with students who are TWO grade levels behind.
They will put your child in ELA tutoring even when they get straightAs and not even tell you about it.
The common core workbooks are awful and even when your child is doing well in general, the worksheets will make them appear as they are failing and some teachers will respond with its ok to fail and struggle or I gave them a 10/100 for effort and then explain how your children doesnt need extra help.
They are only a small handful of teachers there who are phenomenal.
Also, they do fun run boosterthons to raise up to $15,000 for school supplies every year and still ask for school supply donations such as paper and still dont have enough tutors.
It really went downhill since it opened.

The new elementary school on Cow Horn is amazing. The teachers truly care and do everything they can to help the kids succeed. Our daughter loves all her teachers and scores very high on all her standardized tests which shows how well theyre teaching the children.

10/10 would recommend Richlands Elementary, now located on Cow Horn Rd. We are new to the area, but this school has exceeded our expectations.

My daughter has attended four different schools, in only three years, because of us moving . Richlands elementary has been the best school my daughter has attended; Starting with the principal, Ms Mainy, the 4th grade teacher, Ms Elmore, and Ms Schwinn, the 3th grade teacher, along with the rest of the staff, worked as a team to create a safe and healthy environment for the kids. Even the EC bus driver, made great efforts to accommodate the parents demands and needs. We will certainly miss this school.

We were station in Florida before coming to RES. The schools here were a lot easer to transition to. I have two children who attend here all three years and my girls loved it. You will not find a more comforting environment. My children were constantly recognized for their achievements.

We moved to NC from VA and found RES to be a very warm and friendly school, allowing for as easy a transition as possible. The office staff and teachers are great! I got to know the principal well through the new PTO. She is a strong leader. My children were challenged and able to excel in their classes and were recognized for their achievements. This school has a very positive feeling and my children love it.
