Rancho Del Rey Middle School
I am very impressed with the high standards RDRMS sets for their students. I think the Administration and the teachers are doing a great job! Keep up the good work!

Rancho Del Rey Middle School
RDRMS sets the bar for student acheivement at a very low standard. They are more concerned with pushing through the ESL's than developing sound acedemic progress. Not every student is bound for a "State School".
