Praise is well deserved for this school. In an age where the general public feels an (often undeserved/unfair) entitlement to criticize via public forum every personal and professional interaction they encounter, I'm pleased to see so many parents and students taking the time to give praise so genuinely earned for this school. I can't imagine the inherent difficulty and frustration for educators today, who find themselves clinging to their optimism and idealistic desire to positively shape the academic, moral and personal growth/development of each incoming class year after year, all the while fighting a consistently inconsistent curriculum, the biases of parents, and an impossible public forum of 1-sided criticism enabled and promoted by social media today. And yet I find that the educators and administrators at Ryland Heights are waging this battle daily, with an admirable enthusiasm and humbling amount of professionalism that is inspiring and a welcome relief. I currently have 4 children attending this school, and have spanned grades K through 5 over the past 2 years, aside from 1st grade. All of our experiences have been positive, including art, music and physical education. I have a personal fondness for the enthusiasm, effort and general kindness of the music and PE teachers, which is something I never would've thought would even enter my conscious awareness. We transferred into this school 2 years ago from Johnson Elementary in Ft Thomas, and had such wonderful teachers at that school that I came into this school with admittedly unfair low expectations, but I have been continuously impressed with every interaction I've had with this school. And the undeniable reality is that with 4 children in 1 school, there is no shortage of interactions! The principal undeniably deserves individual commendation for her daily dedication to cultivating a personal relationship with every student in the school. In an age when phoning it in has become the default expectation, she continuously strives to raise the bar in this school, and is succeeding. She gives hand-written, personal comments on EVERY report card for every student. Every child deserves the feeling of pride that comes from the personal acknowledgement of the highest authority in their world, outside of their parents. Thank you, Sarah Callahan, for that contribution to our kids' well-being!

Even though i really liked this school back then and thought this was one of best in kentucky, i don't really like it anymore. while i transferred to Dixie Heights this school year (2022-2023) there have been a lot of fights over there, assistant principals being mean to students, caring more about athletics than education, teachers not calling me down and some teachers that did not help me with my work except my tutors in my freshman and sophomore year going to scott. so i'd say stay way from going there, your better off going to my school Dixie Heights or like Campbell County High School where all my siblings and my cousins went and graduated there.

My child ran home because he was getting chased by bully's and he said he told teachers and they did nothing about it.But recently they pushed him down the steps and broke his finger.
