What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, January 8, 2017

Why do I give RWC a five out of five stars, you ask? My answer is simple -- the teachers, the teachers, the teachers. My son transferred to RWC in the middle of the school year last year and his teacher Mr. Roth went out of his way to make my son's transition a smooth one. His teacher this year Mr. Jakubowsky is equally up to the task, and my son is challenging. He is very bright and energetic and cannot be properly managed unless the teacher is on his/her toes. The result of their excellent teaching skills -- my son loves school. My son has NEVER loved school in his life. He loves learning and looks forward to his school work. I will honestly be sad when he graduates from Robert Carbonaro in June.:( Close Quote
