My daughter is in 7th grade, and our experience at RMS has truly been nothing short of amazing…read more From the dedicated staff and supportive administration to the incredible teachers, there is a genuine sense that students are seen, heard, and valued as individuals and not just as "kids," but as young people with unique voices and potential. That level of respect and care makes a lasting impact. As a family rooted in the surrounding neighborhood, we made a conscious decision to support our local middle school. We committed not only to being part of the community, but to actively contributing to it. We believe that if there's something we want to see improved or changed, it's our responsibility to step up and be part of that change and not rely on VUSD to raise our children. Like most things in life, what you invest is what you get in return and we've seen that firsthand. Our daughter is absolutely thriving. She maintains a 4.0 GPA while being actively involved in a variety of activities, including ASB, Backpacking Club, and sports. Beyond academics, she's growing socially and emotionally, building confidence and meaningful connections. So many amazing oppurtunites at this middle school! What stands out most is the unwavering dedication of the RMS staff. I've personally witnessed students who needed extra support truly flourish thanks to the care, encouragement, and commitment from teachers, counselors, and administrators. It's inspiring to see how much they pour into these kids every day. As a parent, it's an absolute privilege to be involved and to contribute to a community that is shaping the next generation in such a positive way. For anyone who may be on the fence, I highly encourage you to come see it for yourself. The leadership, staff, and students have worked incredibly hard to create something special at RMS and it shows. Go Wildcats!

I've been into so many fights at this school because staff does nothing and that bitch Ms. Randle does NOTHING TO HELP! I had someone send me threats and instead of helping they blamed me, it went so far we had to go to the district! NEVER go to this school unless you want to deal with bullying, horrible staff and the worst kids you'd ever meet in your entire life. They say they have a zero tolerance for bullying and yet the bully's get away with everything. The only thing good about it is some of the teachers and even then I feel bad that they don't get paid enough and are stuck there!

I truly cannot say enough positive things about this school. Throughout most of her middle and high school years, my daughter participated in the online program so she could pursue her surfing dreams.

Thank you, Classical Academy.

She didn't follow the CDE requirements for IS at all and used her husband's position as assistant principal to protect her position. Instead of guidance we got weekly emails about her weekends with her kids and the weather! What a joke! What does that have to do with my child's education. Furthermore the interactive learning was far from interactive or synchronous! Instead my child watched boring videos from out of state teachers with no way to connect with anyone! I don't know about the other teachers just this teacher and I can't believe she gets paid to waste my child's time with a joke of an education. We tried to switch teachers but that didn't happen so we switched schools! I only wish we switched sooner!

The school is very good and secure, but it follows a modified 4x4 block schedule that divides the…read moreschool year into 2 semesters. Students take 4 courses during the first semester, and the other four during the second semester. It sounds better than it works. If your child is planning on taking AP classes, he/she may get AP classes in fall and forget the material by the time she has to take AP tests in spring. This sheduling also means less time spent on each subject comparing to the schools with a regular schedule. Students are rushed to get all material covered. If you missed a day or two, it's very difficult to catch up. In regular schools, students take six, seven, or eight periods a day throughout the entire school year, and take their AP tests in spring.

Not to be confused with Lincoln Middle School in Vista. I was a Panther here 20+ years ago, so take…read morethat with a grain of salt. Also take what is written her as a long forgetten memory, beyond the statute of limitations. Don't worry most of the staff from back then are dead of retired. I was a terror to this school and it's faculty. Not only was a honor student, athlete and musician, but unlike the rest of those geeks I would ditch, do drugs, mouth off, not necessarily vandalize persay, but deface things and yeah just terrorize people. Fights, suspensions. Basically a Jekyll and Hyde of sorts in that my constant criticism was a waste of talent. Some things I remember was the sports programs of track, basketball, flag football (co-ed). A lot of firsts happened for me here. Most of which I can't publicly talk about (legally), but it was a good school because of the teachers. They cared more about me that I did. I remember eating a lot of pizza and cornuts while I was here. Puberty is rough for everyone too, so being the last full middle school class was nice(top of the class in elementary to middle of the road in middle school), unlike the class below us who went form a year from the top to being bottom rung the next year, never being the kings of the castle until final year in HS. I actually liked the aging campus because it had a full track, sort of sparwling with various levels instead of the track home flatness I'd been used to. It felt like college for a 12 year old. Anyhow I had great times, great memories and I learned a lot from here. I recommend going here from 1995-1997, probably way better than now.

This program has been such a blessing for our girls and our family. The smaller, more focused environment and the flexibility to meet each student where they are has made a huge difference. We've seen them turn a corner, and it's given us so much hope. I truly pray this program continues to grow so more families can experience the same kind of support and relief. Thank you for all the care, intention, and heart you put into what you do."
