You will find that teachers there are not up to par with other schools. Having multiple teachers in the school year is not cohesive in learning. It is not a private school, it is a business.

The school is not a bad school. I have however had some issues lately with teachers not really doing their job and lack of communication from the vice principal and the principal. I have left messages and sent emails to both the principal and the vice principal and been ignored. I know they received them cause they will tell my child about them but doesn't bother replying to me as a parent. Other parents I've spoken to have the same issues. I'm just glad this is the last year for my child.

This is our first year. I have had a few concerns with other kids' behavior throughout the year and some communication with staff is poor. However, I do enjoy the email and phone call updates and the many fun activities the school involves the kids in.

Our family has been a part of the RCSSL family since the doors open and we have seen many changes and a lot of growth. In my opinion, every year is better than the last. The administration staff really cares about the families and they go above and beyond to make improvements each year to make learning to excite for the students. I can honestly say that I have never regretted enrolling my daughters in RCSSL!

My son has attended since kindergarten. He absolutely loves his school. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they always have so many fun activities going on. The classroom sizes are also ideal for allowing more one-on-one time for each individual child.

We have been parents here for 8 years. Our 3rd child is now attending (other two have graduated). This has been the best school for our family after spending several years in local district schools. My children have received an excellent education, many unique opportunities and have been set up for success. Administration is amazing, lots of great school events and wonderful communication! The performing arts department is the BEST in the Treasury Coast area!

I love the school!! The public schools in St. Lucie County aren't great so coming from a county in Florida that had great public schools I decided to put my middle son in Renaissance and I couldn't of had a better experience. The transition, the teachers, the activities that they have for the kids during and after school it's a wide range and my son loves this school. And his grades have never been better he's in their Cambridge program and He's done nothing since he started at Renaissance but EXCEL!
