I'm raising my grandson and we had bad experiences at another school in the district in kindergarden. We switched to Rand rd and we are very happy. He was having a lot of problems in reading and math the first half of the year. They worked very hard with him (I can't take any credit for his success)and by the end of the year he was at and above where he should be. Thank you so much Rand rd!!
