We have four preschool classes (including one for speech developmentally delayed children), eleven kindergarten classes, ten first grade classes, and ten second grade classes. We also have a class called S.E.E.K. (Students Earning Educational Knowledge) to meet the needs of our special learners. Students who need specialized tutoring in reading and/or math can visit our resource teacher for a brief time during the day. If students have severe discipline problems, we offer an Intervention class where students can go for a short period of time in order to get specialized one on one attention in both class work and classroom socialization skills. We also have a SEARCH class where gifted and high achieving students can get that little extra something. Our class sizes range from 17 to 21 students per class. We have approximately 600 students in our school.
Rhea students get to participate in special area classes: library, physical education, and music. Every day, each class goes to one of the special area classes for 40 minutes. Students get technology training in using our mobile laptop computer lab. They also participate in guidance class on a regular basis. A before and after school program is also offered on every school day called Kids Club. Students who participate in Kids Club get organized play time, help with homework, and a healthy snack.
Certified, highly
qualified teachers teach all of our classes and we have about one teacher
aid per every three classes.
Rhea students are proud to be known
as the Rhea Rockets.
