Lake Village

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.

I have had a son go through all six years at Ridgeway, and my second son is currently in there. This school has hired highly qualified teachers who care about the students in their class and go the extra mile to make sure all students feel included. Mrs. Alvear is the best principal ever and the school has great communication. The PTA raises enough money at their booster thon to make most school events, including dances, free for students. Both of my children have taken part in clubs that have been offered at Ridgeway. We’ve been very happy with our experiences at Ridgeway!

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.

This school is a HORRENDOUS PLACE. this place is so broke that my child had to go to the bathroom in the dark because the school couldn't pay for the electricity bill, and my child whose in Pre-K came home crying saying that his teacher yelled at him. another one of my children has autism and they put him in detention instead of asking what happened.this school is HORRIBLE and what they do is ATROCIOUS! I will be pulling my children out as soon as the school year ends!

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.
