I don't know about all the teachers but my kid had trouble from the start at least with the fith grade his teacher had yelled at the kids before I don't think they are as helpful as they can be not very caring trying to rush everything It is not very often my kid comes home happy like he use to be , I talked to the principal and he pretty much just sticks up for the teachers and puts all the blame on my kid Ill be glad when school is over Id say pick another elementary I should of

I am very happy with Rather. I go to work and do not worry about my kids there. I love the staff and the fact that the staff all know you and your kids. Rather is the type of school that always makes you smile. I wish I could say more for some of the other schools around! Thank You Rather and Staff!!!

Rather was our choice of school for our children to attend. The staff at Rather are very caring and very nurturing. This school has the best Principal he is strong in his faith and it shows he has a very caring heart and wants the best for ALL students. Parent involvement is high. the structure of each grade level is good. Teachers are wonderful also.If given the Choice again for our Children Rather School would be it because of the dedicated Parapro's, Teachers who want all students to be equiped with the knowledge of learning what they need to learn.Also for the dedicated staff, Nurse, Secretary, Libarian, food service and Janitoral are all wonderful not to mention all the Parent Involvement. If we had to grade this school it would still be an A+ school. Thank you for the 9 years we spent there.- Lisa Tompkins and Family
