Ridgecrest Elementary School

Teachers are excellent and really care about their students.

In Alabama, crossing guards should not direct traffic when there are no pedestrians present, as their authority is to create a safe gap for children to cross, not to control traffic flow in the absence of pedestrians. While a crossing guard's directions take precedence over traffic signals when they are present, their role is specific to guiding pedestrians, not acting as law enforcement to direct general traffic. A crossing guard's presence indicates there are pedestrians, so drivers should always yield when the guard is in the crosswalk.

My children graduated from VFCA and now my Grandchildren attend the school. VFCA prepares kids for college but also prepares them to face life after they graduation No school has perfect kids and ours is no exception but what we do have is a staff that helps steer kids to the Lord when they do make mistakes. There are sports for all ages STEM club, Robotics club, and Cyber Technology club. There are Chapel services for all ages (beginning at 4 YO) that teaches the kids to worship and study the Bible. Our theater department is known for the productions they perform, both the Jr. Theater and Master Theater.

My son started attending Covenant Classical Research Park when he was one. We experienced 3 different directors, so I can write an honest review about this school. I was losing faith in the school but they finally got it right by hiring the current Director Paul and the Assistant Ditector Crystal. The current Director and Assistant Director are the kindest individuals and they have completely changed the atmosphere of CCS-RP., are the best!! My son graduated Kindergarten from CCS-RP and we loved his Teacher Ms. TashaBird. My son scored above average on his SAT and he was accepted into the top private school in Huntsville ( my son ranked above average in all areas of his 1st grade evaluations). I highly recommend CCS-RP and I am so thankful they got rid of the bad administration and teachers, because this school is now top notch!

We just started at Holy Family this year. It was exactly what our family needed. We are so thankful for the staff and parents at Holy Family. They have made us feel welcome and right at home. The curriculum is a much higher standard than we were used to, and it was the perfect challenge.

I am a new employee of this school. After having worked here for 6 months, I would not hesitate to send my children to school at Holy Spirit. I love that our faith is ever-present, the administration and teachers are caring, the class projects I have seen are fun (a recent 4th grade "wax museum" asked students to research a historical figure, prepare a presentation, and dress up as that person to teach visitors about his/her life and important contributions), the school-wide assemblies relate important information necessary to all citizens (a recent presentation by the first Black person to integrate Alabama schools, a recycling presentation teaching students about the importance of reducing/reusing/recycling, an event centered on military veterans and the importance of their service to our nation)... Most importantly, the children are happy. This year the schools has placed importance on security, and it shows. I whole-heartedly recommend Holy Spirit Regional Catholic School.
