Riggs Elementary School

The administration's response was slow and inadequate, demonstrating a lack of empathy for the victim. The so-called "anti-bullying" policies were not enforced, allowing the aggressors to continue their harmful behavior without consequences. It's disheartening to see a school that claims to prioritize the well-being of its students fail so miserably in providing a safe and supportive environment!!!

This school is an absolute joke! The principal Mrs whitlark doesn’t care about the safety or well being of the students she has made that very clear! The amount of bullying at this school is toxic these kids need to feel supported by their teachers and principal and not be mocked for stepping forward. We want our children to feel safe and valued while getting a proper education. This school does not support a positive learning experience. They have had threats of violence with a weapon and yet that child remains on campus? Physical altercations and verbal abuse by their peers is not ok, when I brought this to the principal she simply said “I can’t control how kids talk in their home” that’s a great thought but this is happening on school grounds during class, lunch and recess. I’ve removed my kids and will never recommend this school to anyone.

We are entering our 3rd year at CTA Freedom and we are more impressed every year. The administration and staff are very dedicated to providing a positive, driven and forward thinking learning environment. As a parent and volunteer, I am extremely happy with the entire experience. Parent engagement is great and the PTO provides lots of exciting events, enrichment and teacher appreciation opportunities. It is a newer school and the classrooms and technology are fantastic including 1:1 devices and brand new Smart Boards in every classroom. It is a more accelerated and focused program, which we chose as it is a great fit for our student. I also work in the district as a substitute teacher and this is hands down my favorite campus to work at. The administration is very supportive, present and involved, and every classroom I have worked in has been organized, and well structured. The school offers a DLI Spanish option, Art Masterpiece program taught by trained volunteers, and is introducing a new Career Literacy pilot class which will incorporate research and design.

Not the school for your kid. Always something crazy going on with the kids and teachers. Many “accidents” and fights. Kids are coming home learning nothing. This school is actually the worst elementary school for your kid.

My children have been going to Auxier since Kindergarten. They have been through 2 principals and loved both. The teachers are fantastic! We love how they incorporate kids of all different backgrounds and learning in all rooms! Being around others who aren’t “just like you” is lovely and teaches kids to be kind to all!
