I am so disappointed and sad that my students education is going to be so hurt because this school doesn't seem to care about their students or their education.

My fourth grader gets the same homework packet as my first grader. Instead of actually getting a math page they bring home the packet asking what they worked on with nothing to work on.

Mrs. Cartinella is the best Teacher Ever! She absolutely cares about her students! Couldn't ask for better. Talk about going above and beyond.. My son attended a different school the previous year and he did have much more school and homework then at Rita, But having a happy well adjusted child who has an excellent teacher that can tend to his specific / special needs is more important to me!! Office staff is unorganized but they mean well...

My boys go to this school and it has been great, the staff at this school is very helpful. My oldest boy start in Kindergarten and now he is in 4 grade and the teachers he had are great. Like Ms Mackey and Ms Harpole.
