“A great school with high academic standards, a plethora of extracurricular activities and solid student discipline. Despite competing against schools much larger the Kares always field great teams at the Jr. High, JV and Varsity levels. If your child is looking for a complete high school experience you couldn't make a better choice.”

“This school will completely take over your child's life and a good portion of your own. If your child is an individual don't send them to this school.”

“I was part of RHP's Sports League, Kare Youth League from kindergarten untill 7th grade. I was also in The programs Elementary school, Pearl Prep. Rio Hondo/Pearl Is a great school if all you look at are the academics. I got the best education money could buy, and there were never any real discipline problems. However I would not recommend this program for anyone. Through out Elementary school I would get on a bus at 6am and my parents would pick me up sometime after 6pm and there were always hours of homework. I had absolutely no free time, and thats how RHP likes it. They want you 24/7 and it only gets worse as you get older. They don't encourage parental involvement and try to override parents descisions.”

“This program is not for every child. They don't tell you what it is they want from you and your child, so you don't know how to meet their expectations. After 3 years of trying to read their minds, I give up!”

“I am a parent of a child who is leaving RHP. If you don't have time to spend with your child, then this is the program for you because they have activities scheduled for weekends, weekdays, summer, x-mas, spring break. But if you enjoy spending time with your child, this program will not allow you any time to do so. Some activities they schedule are so worthless, like going to the mall. They decide what your child can and cannot do even out of school.”

“Solid academic program with ample AP and college on-line courses available. Amazing extracurricular, summer and community involvement programs. Middle school and high school educational trips, and summer tours totally unique. Emphasis on sports helps create competitive environment with something for nearly all types of students.”

“Great school with an excellent after-school program. The relationships between the student and the faculty are outstanding (all the faculty members are graduates of RHP). The whole school and its related people are like a one big family.”
