"SO very disappointed in this school. I thought this school would be a second best choice but after my daughter's first year I am apalled that they call this a "magnet" school. The academy my daughter chose does absolutely nothing. She is in the computer design program so you would think she would be learning all she could about graphic arts...the teacher does not share his time evenly with ALL the students or at least as many as possible. When I ask my daughter what she did in class, she tells me how boring it was due to the teacher not "teaching" and how the kids are basically on their own. My daughter only had 2 teachers that were awesome, her honors language arts teacher and honors biology teacher. The afterschools activities lack BIG time...NO variety at all. They have no sports program and are so adament about "NEVER GOING TO HAVE ONE"...so don't ask. Trying to be part of the PTO is a mission in it self but they sure want your money. The schools website is not user friendly. There is no pride or excitement about the school. The school just seems...lazy. School starts tomorrow and I'm trying to sike my daughter up but...wish we accepted Terra High School's offer. Stupid us!"

"Exceedingly disappointing. Students are NOT CHALLENGED to their full potential, much less by sufficient homework. By "sufficient" I DON'T mean excessive, I mean adequate enough to maintain a sufficient level of proficiency (eg: math) or engage their minds with the ideas, concepts and background (ie: history) of that which they are purported to be taught. Furthermore, regular "teachers" are wasteful of the classroom time to cover their subjects, and waste much of it on unproductive and/or irrelevant material (sometimes not even academically related). Substitute teachers are, as well, highly ineffective, failing to provide what should be a continuation of the educational process for the respective course, and instead function merely as babysitters and fill-in, providing no instruction or academic opportunity. Apathy permeates the student body as well as the faculty and staff, again, providing no "fertile ground" for minds to grow and be prepared for a higher learning and a more meaningful and productive career and adulthood. To cap it off, there is also little expectation of parents or attempts by faculty and staff to EXPECT and REQUIRE proper adherence to proper social norms."

"My son is about to begin his sophomore year at RMEC in the orchestra program. He is most disappointed in the program since it is not even as good as the middle school orchestra that he was in. But, of course, he is stuck in that academy. He will have to stick it out. My experience with the teachers thus far are positive, for the most part. However, my complaint is that it is next to impossible to reach anyone on the phone at the school. I usually have to call several times and press 1,000 buttons before I get anyone to answer. Often I resort to e-mailing someone in administration to call me back. That is very frustrating. God forbid there is an emergency and you need to call the school. I am hoping that next year will prove to be better with the new principal."

"My son was in engineering and enjoyed his time there. He appreciated the terrific teachers there. He was especially pleased with his English teacher who has a Phd. and assisted him with his college essays. Some very smart kids go there and since they choose to be there and need to maintain a 'C' average, there is little problems at this school. One nice thing about having a culinary arts school there is that kids can get really, really good food and treats from their food court. The lack of a football team was not an issue for my son, though I would have liked for him to have the high school football experience. However, he will still get to enjoy his collegiate sports experience. Thanks, Robert Morgan."

"This school is as great as what you make out of it. There is a chance that your kid might enroll into several AP classes by the time they graduate, leaving with a nice chunk of credits under their belt along with an advanced knowledge in whatever vocational/performing arts academy they choose to be in. It is just as easy for a student to abuse the resources available and fail to go far in school, finding themselves after school retaking classes. I'm currently a senior at this school and I'm proud to say that I took advantage of what was offered. That said, I have passed 3 AP classes and expect to take 5 more tests before this year is over. I am active beyond the classroom in Engineering (my academy) and take up several leadership roles in the clubs available. Like I said, this school has potential coinciding with the student."
