Ridgefield

The teachers are very dedicated to each child and are very dedicated.

We really enjoyed Jessup. Both my kids thrived here. The teachers they had were amazing and the school principal, assistant principal and administration were great. They had a few incidents in the area that resulted in lockdowns but the school every necessary precaution. None of these incidents were related to the school itself.

The current administration is abysmal. Teachers are unsupported and afraid to say anything for fear of reprisals. There is fighting daily in the lunch room which remains largely unsupervised. Bullying is a huge issue that goes largely unaddressed by the administration, affects numerous kids, and teachers are left unsupported to do the best they can. Safety plans have been drawn up with no intention of actually implementing or following them.The current principal (Moore — in case this hopefully changes in the future) is more concerned with attendance and receiving her federal dollars than she is about supporting her staff, or protecting and educating kids.The school board needs to take immediate action as this school is failing its students and teachers.

This was my former school, where I was bullied, got my stuff stolen and broken by others, and I got a referral for teasing, when others didn't get one for fighting. I don't recommend this school.

My son attended Seven Oaks and we were very happy with the school. We went to several school events and enjoyed the Science Fair a great deal. They also did a great job with his speech therapy. My one critique is that arrival and dismissal can be a challenge, but that has a lot to do with a small parking lot. The school has really come along since we have lived here.

We are so grateful for this school! The teachers truly care about the students and do a wonderful job teaching not only academics but also Christian values. My children feel loved, supported, and encouraged in their faith every day. It is a blessing to be part of such a caring school community.
