School Reviews
5 1/6/2024
RHMS is an ideal middle school. They offer so many programs, sports, activities, academic opportunities, etc. that every child can find their niche. Their STEAM program is amazing and provides students extra challenges and opportunities. My son has thrived at this school for the past 2.5 years. Also, while bullying can be a problem in every schoo, my son has not experienced any. I attribute most of this to him being in the STEAM program where the kids have to maintain certain grades and behavior to stay in it.
