This school was so incredibly damaging to my child. He went into the school with what a public…read moreschool would call an IEP. They wrote him something called a "step program", They never followed it. The teachers berated him and treated him as if he were a bad child. The "dean of men" told me that he would never treat my child any differently than the other kids. Even though, my son struggled with some neurodivergent issues. We are still dealing with the repercussions of having gone to this school. Do not send your child to Bishop Montgomery High School. Particularly if they are neurodivergent in any way.

We have been treated like family over the years - our children feel safe and known by their teachers and any questions or requests to the administration or teachers have been promptly and thoughtfully addressed. Our oldest child and middle school graduate, who now attends public high school, feels like she was well prepared academically and personally by teachers who challenged her to think critically and by expectations to be kind and respectful. There is obviously no perfect school and we are grateful to have found a school that aligns with our values!

They instill the importance of independence and accountability at an early age. I have three very different students attending RHCDS and each one is thriving in their own way - a true testament to the school. The teachers are approachable and accessible and operate with a purpose to inspire and push students while also maintaining a fun and warm atmosphere. My children feel respected, comfortable and confident in the classroom which is a culture that cultivates growth across all facets of the child's development.

Each has a very different learning style and the school is able to tailor their teaching to meet both of their needs.

It's a small school which allows the community to feel very connected. The students are all very kind and welcoming and the faculty and staff is top notch!

But what hasn't changed is that while my child is at school, he is safe, happy, learning and growing up to be a good human in this difficult world. He always has, and continues to acquire skills and traits at school that I feel are important beyond academics, such as being of service, being a confident speaker, good social skills, empathy for others, and a respect for his environment/community, just to name a few. Since my last review, we have had the pleasure of having Mrs. Hofmann in 1st grade, Ms. Nakae in 2nd grade, and currently Ms. Flores in 3rd. We have enjoyed all of them as teachers. Mrs. Hughes is still going strong as the kindergarten teacher as well. We also have a new principal this year, Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim has truly been an amazing leader so far. I am so grateful to have him at our school. The office staff is also wonderful. Our school community may be small, but it is filled with families, staff, and teachers who truly care about making these children's elementary and junior high experience a great one. Nothing ever stays the same, and that is okay! We are fully embracing the positive changes that are happening at St James. I am honestly so happy that we chose this school community for our child, and will continue to do all we can to support the students and the growth of the school, as I know it can only continue to get better and better!

Staff there including the principal at the time useless and did nothing and even said my daughter being physically pushed "is not bullying." We did everything to get help contacted school police and all they did was come down and talk to the same culprits over and over and it continued. They even had video proof of the student that started physical altercation towards my child during PE and also outside of school this group having "fight meet ups". NOTHING EVER DONE. Some of those same students went onto Torrance high and continued their actions and the school their had issues with them. The best thing I did for my daughter was remove her form this juvenile hall and got her a real education (online is the way to go!) She not only received better help with her education (she has an IEP) both elementary school Fern, and Madrona didn't help her at all even with their iep programs) why? Simple many teachers there general ed teachers don't have the professional qualifications to understand how to work with children like this instead they get angry and put down a child (yes it happened many times to my daughter throughout her time at both schools) And they are lazy. Teacher at elementary Fern would hand her a book put her in a corner and have her stare at a book for the entire class session. Madrona just blamed her for having dyslexia! My daughter beautiful and now well accomplished all A's and B's online high school, went onto college and professors adore her and will be recommending her to universities that specialize in History academics her major. She reads beautifully and way above her grade level and would love to be a professor or museum curator or librarian. She also hopes to help other children that struggle with learning difficulties. She firsthand knows what to look for and how to address it properly and kindly in a positive manner. She's a wonderful mannered and hard working young lady and guess what? The other group hmm well guess but you know the saying some things never leave a small town or achieve much.
