RPN is not a good fit for the classroom. It doesn't connect to the way math and arithmetic are taught, since ages. RPN comes from the days when parsing an expression in a calculator was hard. I've got a two RPN calculators at home, and I think it's cute, but it's a nerd thing.
If you want a non-TI calculator that's allowed in the classroom: look at the Casio and Numworks.

I bought the thing but they have a free phone app too, works exactly the same. I can't ever remember how to use my TI-89 but the numworks is pretty intuitive
