I've had two children who've gone to RD Head Elementary. Eldest one was all the way through to grade 5. Youngest one just did Kindergarten before we had to move. Both had excellent experiences at the school. Principal and teachers took great interest in developing the children and the program for gifted children helped challenge children who needed additional challenges.

Leadership changed the year my child started K, then again in 2nd grade, and wasn't too impressed. In fact the AP had such a bad reputation that many people thought she should be replaced. We have an above average child with no behavior issues. The teachers are good, but not enough oversight or action by leadership when real issues happen. Parent concern are politely listened to but romises for changes are not honored. Even thought many families are moving and fighting to get into it, in the end, we moved out of the district.
