School Reviews
5 I have a kindergartener at Randolph and am quite impressed with the teachers and principle. They have program were they have the fifth graders mentor the kindergarteners. It really works great. Also music and PE everyday. My daughter really loves it there and made the transition with flying colors. Mrs. Bartley is a great teacher!! Academics and honor program are great. - Posted by Parent - smoki |
