I had the privilege of attending RCS for two years of junior high school. Coming from the public school district, it was refreshing to be in an environment where students were encouraged, daily, to seek the Lord and His ways. The educational standards were high and my teachers were supportive. The students in my class were a mixture of socioeconomic status and background, but I experienced very few cliques even though I would have been classified on the lower end of the scale. I was very disappointed when my family's finances became too tight to continue attending RCS. Years later, after earning my masters degree in teaching, I had the honor of returning to RCS to teach in the elementary school. Once again, I am thankful for the Godly environment and encouraging atmosphere. The staff have a genuine heart for the Lord and training students up according His Word.
RCS is, at least, excellent! My 5 kids attend pre-K through 9th grade. The teachers are encouraging, desiring communication with us, and proclaiming Christians. The extracurricular activities include junior high overnight retreats, an 8th grade east coast trip (better than most, I've asked), and other activities, not just athletics. It is developing athletic fields and a secondary school building plan as of 2008. The administration is devoted and very capable. As long as I can pay the tuition I expect my kids to get their education only here.
Our child just graduated from RCS. We liked the small classes, bible based principles and challenging academics. We know a 'perfect' school is nonexistent but RCS ranks high for our family. It's nice to have a parent population and Admin. who hold the same expectations and values. Parenting is much easier this way!
This was a very difficult school to attend. Heavy workload, average teachers who were very apathetic towards me. Typical sports programs, baseball, soccer, basketball, no football however. Athletes were treated very well by teachers, often times would miss class for games and would be given very long times to do work. The school board consists of parents, many of whom are well off.
