With 2 children enrolled at RHA, we could not be happier with the academic and spiritual development of our children. I do not agree with the parent who states the teaching occurs at home. We have not found this to be the case at all. Our children are well prepared to do their homework on their own with little parental involvement. Teachers we've had have all been wonderful (and qualified). Yes, lack of permanent buildings is a little bothersome, but it's what goes on inside that counts and in that respect RHA is top notch. Staff could do better job at communicating future plans for buildings, but they did build out middle school over the summer with permanent classrooms.
I am a parent with two kids enrolled at this school. We have attended 4 years and feel I can give a fair assessment of this school. In terms of academics, your kids will be one year in advance of their peers in the public system. I am very impressed at what they have learned. It is a Catholic based faith and there is good spiritual formation. My qualms about this school is the high teacher turn over. Every year there is a handful of teachers, or administrative staff that leave. This is not a big school. Student body consists of 2oo+ students from grades PreK3 to grade 8. Also, the school is 14 years old and there are trailers for classes, no solid buildings.
If you are looking for an advanced curriculum, you will find it here. The teachers are not qualified to teach most grades and you will be doing most of the teaching at home. If your children are already bright, it is a good place to send them. The curriculum is not well taught and requires your child to learn independently. The families are an asset, but the administration does not follow through on important issues. A complete disappointment for the high tuition.
I love the families and teachers. The kids thrive. Great academics and religious formation. Only negative is the facilities but they are working on that.
