We have the best Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Jodi Weinfurter! I have participated in class activities and they have unreserved respect and most importantly are learning how to read and have respect with others. It takes extreme grace and she has it. The new principal Dr. Susan Risius has shown great initiative and involvement in the life of the students. I am excited to see what she does as well.

Teachers go above and beyond. They truly care about how each student learns and makes sure they all feel special.

My son has attended Royal Oaks for five years and he loves the school. He is now two grades reading and math grades above standard. I am grateful to the understanding and compassionate staff there. The principal goes out of her way to know the students. The teachers care about the students and work with them so they can be their best.

This school is really good. There are only two minor things I don't like about it. That's the lunches and learning Manderin Chinese. First Graders through Sixth Graders must learn it. Other than that it is probably the best school in Washington County
