My daughter is exposed to concepts that challenge her creativity and critical thinking skills. They have a brand new cafeteria/auditorium which was the oldest building on campus and it is very impressive. The kids love it too! My daughter is on her way to the best well-rounded education thanks to the teachers and staff of Cypress Ridge.

RLCA is one of the best and reasonably priced private schools in the state of Florida. The teachers have an amazing commitment to the students and to the Lord. Both of my children love attending the school and don't miss public school setting one bit. Dr. Long, the headmaster, is a witty, intelligent and funny person and really wants what is best for his students. If you are even just thinking about RLCA for your kids, I would highly suggest it.

I'm absolutely appalled by the behavior of this school. I believe they discriminated against my son…read moreand targeted him with unfair punishments. They also failed to challenge him academically and his test scores plummeted before we pulled him. When my son started going to this school (age 5), he was bright and energetic. He had been reading since before preschool. He was assigned an amazing kindergarten teacher who was very loving and said she was impressed that he was a fluent reader and very good at math. He tested in the 90+ percentile on all the beginning of the year testing. In December, he tested in the 0th. The school broke him. The worst thing they did was punish him for attending therapy. I spoke with the front office, the nurse, and his teacher before the school year started to inform them that he goes to weekly therapy. All said it was fine and he would have no issues. After a few weeks I noticed they had been marking him unexcused for each appointment, even though I provided a note from his therapist each week. I began emailing the attendance secretary each week to remind her that the tardies were excused. A couple months in, we received a note that said he had accumulated too many tardies (all for his appointments) and they would be issuing him a referral if they continued. At this point I reached out to the dean of students. She said we would need to provide new doctors notes for each tardy. So we did. The very next day, she assigned my son detention for spitting at another student on the playground. This was the very first time we had ever heard a complaint from any staff at the school about my son's behavior. Although I believe that detention is a harsh and ineffective punishment for a 5 year old, especially for a first offense, I sent him to his detention a week later. From that point on, it became a fight to get my son to go to school. When we arrived in the car line he would refuse to go in, so I would park and carry him, screaming and crying, into the school. He almost got hit by a car in car line one day trying to avoid going to school. Sometime around this point in time I received another email from the dean of students explaining that she had spoken with the principal and we would need to submit a letter from my son's therapist explaining his goals in therapy and timeline of care. This is where I drew a line. My son did not want me to share this information, and his diagnoses were not affecting his performance at school. Throughout the school year, the car line staff had been pressuring me to drive away before my son was buckled. We were not holding up the line, but the car line staff are very aggressive about getting the line to move. I kept telling them I wasn't comfortable driving with him unbuckled and would move as soon as he was. We did everything we could to get him to buckle quickly. One day, the school resource officer started yelling at my father when he went to pick up my son and ordered him to drive away with my son unbuckled. At this point I emailed the principal and the parent liaison at Academica about my concerns with the car line and with the invasion of my son's privacy in therapy. I sent the email in December and still haven't heard back from the principal. The response from Academica was that they could call CPS because my son had missed too much school (referring to the tardies for his therapy appointments). I informed them that since he was 5, there are no mandatory attendance laws applicable for him, but if they wanted to report me to CPS for sending my son to therapy they could go ahead. The response was "well, if you don't have to send him, why do you?" I guess they just don't understand a parent wanting her son to get a good education. I withdrew him from school and began homeschooling him starting in January. Since then he has been learning at a much faster pace and is much happier. I regret ever sending my son here.

There's been multiple cases about multiple teachers and the administrator don't do anything. When you report a teacher they use it against you instead of helping you. If your son or daughter is going to report a teacher please be there, by there side because they will use everything against you. What im trying to say is look out for everything cause this school is stricter about mostly everything.
