I am the mother of 3 -- 1 gifted, 1 "regular" and 1 with a learning disability. I LOVE this school! All my children are getting a great education. We left Country Hills & would NEVER go back.

As a parent, I think this school is excellent!! My daughter is only now is 2nd, but last year was a great year for her. I got to volunteer all the time and the staff was great with allowing it!!! The teachers even offer free tutoring if they think the child need it. Great school!!!! Yes, car lines are horrible.. but they are like that everywhere.

I had my daugther in this school for Kg, and i can say that is a very good school, even if it was their fist year, i think they did a wonderful job. Is pretty easy to talk if you are not on the head of a new school, nobody knows how hard they work to keep our kids safe and happy. My daugther teacher was the best, she took care of her and her issues and she did very well. I really love this school and i will recommend it to anybody!

I have a middle school and grammar school student and was overall very pleased with the school. The third grade was outstanding academically and the teacher was wonderful. Middle school had a different teacher for each subject and for the most part they were all caring and concerned with her academic progress.

I completely agree with the previous review of the middle school. I witnessed it myself f on several occasions as a parent volunteer, and I was completely appalled. My son, a 7thgrader, learned close to nothing last year. He made straight As, which was wonderful. For him but ridiculous considering his academic strengths and weaknesses. We wasted a year, basically, and we will not be returning for 8th grade. I cannot speak to the Elementary experience, but I would not enroll a child in the middle school, ever! There are far too many kinks to work out and far too little discipline. This is not a school for teenagers who want to learn and know how to behave. They will be overlooked and even Penalized for the actions of their classmates. Run, far away, and find an alternative to this school.

I hated this school. It was bad. I went for 6th grade. The teacher didn't care. 6th and 7th graders shared teachers. There are bullies and the teachers and staff barely does anything about it. The students used inappropriate language towards the teachers. The classrooms were smaller than average. The school has mold. They treat middle school like babies. School lunch is microwavable. The school sucks at discipline. No buses. I just hated that school. Every 6th and 7th grader i asked hated the school and staff. Don't get me wrong I got A's and B's but the school it self was just a big No. If your child is going to middle school good luck with that

My daughter's first year at RCSCS was great! Mrs. Beresovoy is a wonderful, caring teacher. We will miss her very much now that my daughter will be going to second grade.

RCCS made a good start in its first year. My son was in first grade and had a fabulous teacher. He progressed very well in his core subjects of reading and math, and loved his specials; art, music, P.E. and Spanish (kudos to the Specials teachers, they did a great job). Communication with teachers and the principal was very good, there is a great information system for viewing grades and keeping up to date with announcements. Building out a Target building means small classrooms and no fields, but my son didn't seem to mind. There is a very nice cafeteria, gym, and nice facilities for specials. The school is making a big effort at providing varied after school activities. I am hoping to see more emphasis on actual math fact memorization next year in addition to the different methods being taught for addition (Envision math was used last year), but this is a comment on the math curriculum endemic to the public school system. Overall, RCCS is a good school choice and we are grateful to have this option in our community.

The FCAT 2.0 has 5 achievement levels, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 the highest. Florida considers scores of level 3 and higher to be on or above grade level. The goal is for all students to score at or above level 3.

About the tests


Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
