This school has very poor communication with parents. I called multiple times to find out why they are trying to enroll my child when she is already enrolled at a school where I live 2 hours away. Even after sending my legal documents proving my situation and leaving messages multiple times the administration is refusing to return my call to explain what is going on and how they even got documents required for registration. This place is beyond unprofessional!!

Founders is the best school. The teachers know my children, and take interest in them. They have unique clubs and electives! My kids get free opportunities at this school that would cost me lots of money elsewhere. My first grade daughter is reading chapter books! My 9th grader LOVES school and hates to miss or be picked up early! My seventh grader is taking interest in the things they are learning that are unique to classical education outside of school!
The principals respond promptly to messeges. They teach values. This is not a public school with a ton of funding and high tech equipment, but the level of education these students are learning is quality and it gets better every year. Many of the teachers drive more than and hour to work here. And the college that the teachers get trained at- Hillsdale- is AMAZING.

Students are instructed to take personal responsibility for their homework.

The majority of the teachers at this school are effective.
Posted: June 14, 2019
In addition to academics being taught, the students are also taught virtues and morals.

The school's Headmaster is awful. This school could use some serious help with leadership. The amount of unprofessionalism and gossip is the worse I have ever witnessed.

This school has no real solution or support for children with serious issues like ADD or ADHD, not to mention anger or violent behavior. Teachers are expected to instruct these students with no support from Administrators. The majority of these teachers do not have Special Education training or certification to handle them in an inclusive environment.

Never witnessed this issue first hand so I can not review.

Horrible working experience of my life! RES has a wonderful program across Texas and Arkansas but this campus is the absolute worse! Parents need to parent so teachers can teach, this is not the case for most student's home life. The administration is in need of some leadership courses and the amount of gossip that is spread at this school is disgusting. I would not send my child to this school or ever work here in the future.
