The demographics of Glendale is predominantly Armenian and they make it known. It s sad to say, but there is a lot of racism and bullying that goes on at this school. One example: I was first in line and was supposed to be helped next at the administration office. The lady working there was talking in Armenian with the lady standing behind me then helped her first instead. Stay away from this school if you want your child to grow up in a TRUE American school (where immigrants actually want to be American and embrace other ethnicities cultural assimilation).

I've had children at RD White for almost 3 years now. One child is in special education. We have had nothing but great experiences with teachers and staff. RD White has caring professionals who are interested in the full potential of my children. They listen, react, and have great insights to help our kids learn and grow. The school has a large group of active parents. They volunteer their time to raise funds for art and technology education, to solve complex safety issues, to educate and empower parents, and are even in the classrooms right alongside the teachers. The professionals and parent support at RD White are a great community, I am happy to be part of it!

My daugther was in Catholic School in Kinder and she was struggling to read. I transferred her to RD White and now she is a good reader. Their school program to help kids succeed is amazing! The principal and the teachers are all great, especially Mrs. Melanie Doody . She treated her students as if they are all her own. I'm grateful that I have enrolled my child in RD White!

I have been a parent of three children at this school over the past 8 years. The principal and staff are amazing, their theatre program and monthly flag ceremonies are additional wonderful learning experiences for the students.
