[quote=Anonymous]RHPS was not a good fit for our child who turned out to need an IEP.  The split school structure allowed RHPS to drag its feet and just pass problems on to the upper school.  If our child had been in a K-5 elementary, I think that the issues would have been dealt with 1-2 years earlier.

That said, if you think your child has a good chance of getting into the HGC at CCES, then it might be worth it to be in the RHPS/CCES neighborhood.

Otherwise, I would choose Somerset.

RHPS is big.  Since students are shuffled across the 8-9 classes each year, most kids only know 2-4 students in each new class, which means that new students don't stand out too much because most students in a class seem new.   RHPS is not unique in shuffling classes, but it is unique in that it has a very large number of classes per grade.  If you shuffle students across 3-4 classes each year, students will see many of the same faces.  If you shuffle students across 8-9 classes each year, not many faces are new.  Some students are OK with this, for others it is hard.
