Radford School

Radford School is really a gem in El Paso. I had the privilege to be educated at the London School of Economics and Harvard and it is without any hesitation that I recommend this institution. A family atmosphere with a focus on academics and a real understanding for the individual we are so privileged to have such an institution of higher learning in El Paso.

This school is one of the best finds of 2020 for us. When many schools were shut down, or unable to offer a variety of education options to families, Radford delivered an amazing experience. This private Preschool-12 school is rich in history, tradition, and culture. Starting as a girls-only boarding school over 100 years of history make this school an amazing place to be a part of. My daughter has thrived academically and as a member of a community. I've also come to know a number of recent and remote graduates who shared how their time at Radford shaped them and stays with them as source of pride. Students wear uniforms at all grades, meals are prepared and served in a large dining hall, and parents have their own mini-community.

Nothing is wrong with the school its the fact it needs to be polished in some parts.

My 3 1/2 year old was expelled from the Radford School here in El Paso because he didn't want to change out of his swimming clothes intro the school uniform. The school did not bother to call us to say there was a problem with him and if we could come and speak with our son. They called, told us they needed to see us and when my wife arrived at the school, the elementary school principal had just left him in the main admin office and left. My wile had to have the principal called up to find out what was going on. The extremely rude woman said that he had been expelled for being disobedient and that we had to pay the fee balance and were not welcome back. Although my son had 2 days that he had a problem a week before, he did not have any other problems. He did not injure any other kids and was not a "problem child" for some reason this woman had something against our son and was out to expel him. The saddest part of this was when he asked to go to school today and we told him he couldn't go anymore, he started crying saying he wanted to see his friends and his teacher
