We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Mr. Raga has done amazing things with Raba ES! Everyone is on the same page, the school is organized and efficient, morale among teachers seems to be very upbeat and excited. Loved the awards ceremony this year! Thank you Raba family for giving my kiddos a great experience with their education.

Have a 2nd grader here and about to have a kindergartener as well in the fall.
