this school is one of the best schools i have ever gone to when i was in that school the teachers were nice to me and the principal and every body else were nice to me.also the teachers are nice to my daughter just like they were to me.If i had to choose a school i will pick this of course.
This school has a spirit of excellence. I moved my kids here two years ago and I am very happy with the staff and teachers. They care about the students and it shows.
I beg to differ with the individual that posted their opinion on October 10th. Rainbow Park is moving in the right direction. Mrs. R. Thomas-Armstrong is a breath of fresh air for the students and faculty of Rainbow Park Elementary. She has been moving in directions of improving the test scores of the students of her school by offering various intervention programs and she is very visible around the school and in classrooms. The faculty seems more at ease and can go about doing their jobs professionally and comfortably. Ms. Armstrong acknowledges and the presence of parents, and you really can't tell whether she is the principal or faculty because she is not flamboyant. She is a very knowledgable young woman headed for great things in Dade County School Systems if she is allowed.
My son and daughter have both attended rainbow park elementary school in the art magnet program. The art program is fantastic. Ms. Rodriguez, the art instructor gives individual attention to the children in her class. My children have excelled in their talents, winning many awards for their art work. The principal, mrs. Clark, and vice principal, mrs. Garfinkle, have always made themselves available to me when i had a problem to discuss with them. They are genuinly concerned about the children and take their time to address concerns of the parents. They insist on a uniform dress code, and teach the children to have respect for themselves, by the way they dress (shirts tucked in, belts worn). The teachers here are also wonderful. They have always kept me informed of the childrens' progress and are always available when i need to speak to them. Rainbow park is the best!
I am very pleased with my son's fourth grade teachers. They take charge and whenever they have a problem with my son, they do not hesitate to call me. When I asked them to give me extra work for my son, they were more then willing. He takes the paperwork they give him on Fridays to tuitoring on Saturdays at the Library.
