The sixth grade math teacher sends no homework home. The principal and staff members have no clue of what's going on. The principal has no leadership skills and the teachers are horrible. The classrooms are over crowded. Please give the Children books so parents can help them at home. This is a horrible school.

My son is in the 6th grade this year. The teachers at Remynse seem to be so caring and always involved with the childrens work. Kudos to Mrs. Rico! she has been excellent with both of my boys.

Extracurricular activities are limited. The principal does not seem to encourage parent involvement. The level of education provided can definetly be improved. NPH.

My children received an excellent education while at Remynse. The teachers were caring, devoted and child-centered. Tutoring was offered both during and after school hours. I was very pleased with the educational experience at Remynse.

The school is better at tutoring the children. What kind of program does the school have for children with ADHD. My daughter has ADHD and she struggles alot. The school does not seem to have any interest in this subject.

I cant believe that this school does NOT provide before or after school tutoring. I was very unsatisfied with this. This is a big issue for me and I hope that they work on this. They also do not assist the kids with additional reading for those who need it.
