Vista Ridge High School

To be fair and clear I am providing this feedback on several teachers who are teaching 3rd grade. Principal is attempting to be supportive but the school is struggling. School is understaffed. The size of my son's classroom is 27 kids and his teacher is incapable of establishing instructional control over the classroom. There are several kids in the class who are on some sort of a support plan but leave early so teacher is not required to have assistant. My son has been receiving only one page math homework for about half of his year and no other study materials besides being told to read and go over 10 spelling words. Teacher majorly failed at every aspect of communication with me and the only time she would communicate was to notify me that my son's behaviors has been progressing (without telling me a full story). We are hoping for better forth grade and better teacher but if that does not happen we plan on switching schools. The only thing that is holding me back from changing schools is my son begging me not to leave his friends.

My son has been going to Freedom since 2021, enrolling in the Pre-K program. He spent two years in Pre-K and is now in Kindergarten. His pre-K teachers were/are amazing and his K teacher this year is also wonderful. The school’s email/text/call communication has been impressive through the front office and with each of the teachers too. The principal, Dr. Williams, is always in a classroom or spending time chatting with parents- making sure we all know about any upcoming parent involvement dates. Now that my son is in K his options for after school events or clubs has really opened up and he’s really enjoyed all the new opportunities for specialized learning/events.

This school is great and staff member are all amazing. My kids attended from preschool to 4th grade and had a wonderful learning experience. Kids said they were happy in school and received help whenever needed. Teachers communicate really well. We had no trouble with bullying whatsoever. My children were academically thriving, received extra help when needed. I would recommend this school.

I think Springs Ranch Elementary School District is awesome and I love it. I like are teachers and are principle they are nice and encouraging I like Springs Ranch Elementary School. My overall experience is amazing I love my experience a lot.

There are some good programs and some good teachers and employees at this school, but...Why is chaos allowed to ensue? Why are bullies not dealt with?Where is accountability when it comes to inappropriate behavior?What does zero tolerance for bullying even mean if the bullies aren't held accountable for their hurtful and disruptive behavior?No student should have to be afraid in their own classroom. Teachers should be required to maintain control and discipline in the classrooms. Always. Unfortunately, there are no effective consequences for the bullies in this school. Are the teachers and administrators in this school empowered to make a difference for their students who become victims to the bullies? No.
