I think Red Bank Elementary is a neighborhood school to be proud of. They have a super faculty and staff, and they modify their teaching to best meet the needs of the children there. They have had a Spanish Immersion Program for the younger children, and when I see the children coming home, they look

I taught for 25 years myself, at a different school, so I feel I am qualified to make judgements about another elementary school and I think that Red Bank Elementary is doing a superior job of teaching its students.

The school is very involved with the community and offers family nights at the school at least once a month where your whole family is welcome at the school for dinner and educational entertainment at no cost to the parents. I am extremely pleased!! Read less

This school is one of the worst schools I've ever had to deal with. There are too many teachers who are tired of teaching and have become short tempered and lack any real passion about their jobs. Anything positive that they do at the school is more for show, than for actually doing something positive

Red Bank Elementary School is awesome! It is large enough to have talented and capable principles and teachers, but not so large that your child feels lost in the crowd. My child feels loved and supported there and is able to grow in knowledge and spirit. My daughter is the 3rd child I have had at RBE.

My child goes to RBE. She is in fifth grade this year. But the problem that the school has caused me to send her to another school out of the district to get the education she needed.

I am not very pleased with the school in some areas. We are new here, about 8 months.They started at the end of March this past spring.

But they tend to believe the bully and not here the other side. And there is not a lot of communication problems between parents and teachers. I have never had such a hard time trying to schedule a parent-teacher conference either, very unorganized. If I wasn't moving to the other side of town this month I would pull them out asap.
