RJBA is great school, the teachers and staff are excellent and really care about the kids.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted April 13, 2009

We are so pleased to see the changes, this year, at RJBA. Last year was difficult, but, the turn around in the administration, the well-being of the children and the whole atmosphere of the school, this year, is amazing and wonderful. We are thankful for the new administrators who are not ashamed to show their care and genuine concern for the well-being of the kids. THe work that's being done, in the classrooms and in developing the kids' character is a reminder of how we were raised with teachers who cared, years ago, about us as real people. Thank you.
