When I first moved to Duarte I considered putting my 2nd grader in Royal Oaks Elementary due to the reviews and test scores that I researched online. I decided to give Andres a try and I'm happy that I did. My child exceled the entire school year. The staff is awesome from the teachers, to the office, to the cafeteria. This year my other son started Kinder and Andress and I expect him to do very well also.
