Richard Allen Academy
THIS IS A VERY GOOD SCHOOL WITH TEACHERS AND STAFF THAT CARE. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN THAT ATTENDED THE SCHOOL UNTIL WE MOVED OUT WEST; 1 OF WHICH ATTENDED THE SCHOOL FROM PRE-K TO 8 GRADE; SHE HAS DONE WELL IN HIGH SCHOOL DUE TO THE STRONG BEGINNINGS SHE WAS TAUGHT AT RICHARD ALLEN. I OFTEN OVER HEAR HER TALKING WITH HER FRIENDS ABOUT HOW LOVED THEY FELT AT THEIR SCHOOL AND HOW MUCH THEY LEAND. OFTEN TIMES THEY RETURN TO THE SCHOOL DURING THEIR BREAKS JUST SAY HI TO OLD STAFF AND TEACHERS. CONTINUE TO DO EXCELLENT WORK YOU ALL ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. RICHARD ALLEN ACADEMY COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO SAY THE LEAST.
