Royal Live Oaks named National School to Watch
Royal Live Oaks Academy of the Arts and Sciences Charter School (RLOACS) is the first South Carolina charter school ever to be named a School to Watch by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform. This designation recognizes schools that emphasize strong academics, sensitivity to young adolescents’ needs and interests, and commitment to providing all students equal access to a high-quality education.
The purpose of this program is to highlight top middle schools across the country that can be showcased as models of excellence for other schools. RLOACS joins just 35 other schools in South Carolina who currently carry this designation.
“Our RLOACS community is overjoyed to be named a School to Watch. It’s a well-deserved honor that speaks to the dedication and hard work of our teachers and staff,” RLOACS Executive Director Karen Wicks said in a news release. “This recognition isn’t just a celebration — it’s an opportunity to share what’s working in our classrooms for the benefit of students across the state and the country. We’re excited to continue building on this success and maintaining this standard of excellence for many, many years to come.”
