Falcon Ridge Elementary

You can’t get someone to care. My child was being abused and bullied by other students and he cried and was begging not to take him to school because of the bully and he’s only in first grade. His teacher didn’t care to do anything. And when I report to the school they didn’t care as well and didn’t offer a solution. I decided to move my house to a different area so I can take my kid out of this school. Later on the year few days before I change his school he had an award ceremony. I attend the award ceremony for my child and every time his teacher walks by my child would be terrified. Until now to this day my child is still traumatized and I have no idea what happened in school, and what has happened to my child that he got so scared of school, when he used to love going to school. No one cares and no one will offer to even help. If you want your child in a safe school and coming home safely without any injuries and without any trauma then go to a different school. This place is terrible

This school looses your information all the time and is constant asking for it multiple ways. Then have the audacity to say if it’s not turned in by a certain time your child will be dropped , like if the concern isn’t you just lost all my paperwork with information regarding my child’s health, address, and government information. They are quick to retaliate. I get there are so many students per adult but staff here never remember or treat each encounter like it is a new encounter. This school just feels more like an inconvenience and it’s just tiring. I am really appreciative of Mrs. Clark. She has made the previous school year tolerable. Thank you Mrs. Clark!

I went to Hemlock when I was in 1st-5th grade (from the 2019-2020 school year to the 2023-2024 school year) I don't go here anymore but when I went here it was ok-ish. I learned what I needed to, but sometimes teachers can be a bit rude. In my 5th grade year, a girl was crying because our teacher yelled at her because she didn't understand a problem. When she finally answered the question correctly, she went back to her seat crying. Our teacher then went to her and told her, "I know that you're sad about this but I do not care at all." I still had a fun time here but the kids could be a bit mean. Other kids enjoyed their experience here. It varies from person to person.

I will say I think the expansion in the area was too much for the school to handle. Hopefully things will be able to improve with the new Elementary School opening in the next few years. There are too many kids, and not enough support. It has been a HUGEEEE downgrade in my kids schooling since moving here.

Kathy binks has been a blessing to our family! Great clean school, great principal and awesome teachers. They also cater to their kinders, by assisting them to their classroom upon drop off. Very active staff, quality enviornment.
