Radiance Academy of Learning (Del Rio)
My child has beeen attending this school since it opened and he is very happy here. He gets all the one-on-one help that he needs and the teachers are always available when and if he needs help. The principal, assist. principal, sp.ed teacher, and the rest of the staff is wonderful. My child is getting the education that he deserves and I have peace of mind that he is learning what he is being taught.

Which Grades and Subjects?
Students are assessed in Grades 3 through 9 in reading, in Grades 4 and 7 in writing, and in Grades 10 and 11 in English language arts. Math skills are assessed in Grades 3 through 11, and students are assessed in Grades 5, 8, 10, and 11 in science, and in Grades 8, 10, and 11 in social studies.
How is it Scored?
