Robert G Cole Middle/High School Reviews

The school is small, but they have tons of programs available for the students. A large portion of the faculty graduated from R.G. Cole, so school pride is strong. We came from a 5A school to here and are very happy.

Going to have to disagree with 'blah'. The youth have plenty of oppurtunity if they seek it. When we moved here, the Principal and Vice (2006-7) took my troubled son under their wings and embraced him right away. He flourished at first but made other choices. However, if you choose to communicate and not be negative, an awesome school. Cannot say the same for teachers at Ft Sam Elementary.

Cole's great. Everyone knows everyone. They students and staff are very supportive. Its also nice since we are a small school everyone can participate in a sport if they want to.

I was not impressed with the school. The campus is nice, but the lack of communication with staff, poor testing results, and the reading materials, located in the media center, are inappropriate for 7th graders. Books are shared with high school students and many have sexual content complete with profanity. Vice principle aware, but head librarian did not remove books rather she defended the books.

I absolutely detest this school. Sure the 'pupil to teacher ratio' is great, but is that really what makes a good school? I spend most of my classes doing idiotic childish things like coloring in a 9th grade pre-AP class. To a parent or a teacher this school's credentials may be perfect, but I suggest you spend a day there before you decide if they are true!

Cole struggles mightily to offer more than most 2A schools. We do not treat children like kindergarteners, our ROAPS is a research based discipline approach to make the school safer and more orderly. We ask kids to walk to the right to relieve congestion in our narrow halls, especially when kids are at lockers. Our parent club works concessions for baseball, so they do know there is a team. I just didnt want this parent's inaccurate view to stand unopposed.

I love that the teachers are nice and very helpful towards the students and the parents and other adults

quality~ this school lacks much of the needed requirements for academic success. they treat young adults as if they were kindergarden students with their 'ROAPS' concept. 'walk on the RIGHT side of the hallway only!' availability of extracurricular activities~ 'we have a baseball team?' only male dominant sports are paid any attention to: football & basketball. no one cares about swim team or soccer. parent involvement~ the parent club president doesn't even know there is a baseball team, and that is the only parent involved with the school...

This school was a huge dissapointment. We are a military family and my child has attended several schools, all of which have been very different but at the same time all have been willing to at least try to serve my child at her functioning level. The administration and staff at this school were more concerned with creating a false sense of achievement for the school as a whole than they were with providing opportunities for true success.My child is in this schools 'gifted' program, after waiting half the year to be identified for this special program, it finally began in February!On the first day, with hopes that she would soon be challenged with a specialized curriculum , she was told by the teacher that 'they don't really do anything, It's more or less a place for the gifted kids to hang out and be with others like themselves'.

I love this school! I have learned so much, it's a wonderful and non-threatening learning environment. I'm proud to be a student from this school.

As a graduating senior i can tell you first hand that this school is decent. School population is very small, and for the most part we all get along well. As we all are of a military background there isnt much problem with discipline. Only problem i can see is the food! unlike other highschools who sell junk food, we are severly limited in that aspect.(unfortunate for us, a plus for the parents)

Academically sound. Conscientious teachers who truly care about their students. Brand new science and arts faciltiy. Sports include football, soccer, baskertball, baseball, swimming, girl's volleyball, and track. Exceptional parent involvement in all aspects of the school.

RGC Jr/Sr High School is one of the best schools I, myself, have ever attended. They offer many electives that will help the students in the long run. For example, Foreign Languages, Band, Choir, Advanced courses, Gifted and Talented Exploration (G.A.T.E.),Student Council, and many more. Teachers strive for the best of thier students and never put down or insult them. They work hard on building good self-esteem and a healthy social relationship. Although there isn't much interaction between parent and student at school, Cole sends home letters on what has been occuring at school. There is also a Cougar Pride Club, who helps raise funds and support our school spirit. It is a great school, and you shouldn't pass it up if you have a chance to attend. I wish I could have stayed longer, but that's the military child's life! ~A Proud Cougar Cub

Very good school. Low pupil/teacher ratio. Caring and friendly staff. Even though I'm moving off post, I'll pay for my kids to continue attending RGC!

My sister and I both attended Cole High School and I have to say that it has stayed with us through all of these years. The staff was wonderful, the education impeccable and the environment incredible. All the teachers, counselors and other staff were always so interactive with all of the students. It was because of this that the school didn't have nearly the amount of problems of the other schools in the area. I only wish now that my son could attend the school also. Keep up the great work. It is much appreciated and cherished.

For a small school Cole High School has a tremendous capacity to offer a variety of courses and extracurricular activities. Counselors are the best I've seen. The administration focuses on the students, discipline and interaction of parents and faculty. Administration has the future of the campus under control and creates a great environment for learning. Added to the mix is a added advantage/disadvantage of being co-located on an Army Installation. The counselors/administrators work extremely well with the ever changing student population and those stressors of military children. Superb school, I'm sorry all of my children couldn't have attended.
