Ruth N. Upson Elementary School

We loved both the gen-ed and dual language Spanish Immersion program for our two kids. You have to go and see it for yourself. Wonderful little neighborhood school.

This is a great school however it’s extremely overcrowded! They over accept and accommodate students outside of the neighborhood. Too many students. Extended day has a long waitlist. They don’t prioritize students that actually live in this school zone.

This school has gone through a tremendous transformation. My student always comes home with something that she is working towards whether or not that is the FSA Sticker Sheets, this school even had a homework march madness event. The admin and teachers go above and beyond for their students and are always communicating through DOJO and very helpful. I feel blessed to have such a supportive school behind my child to help her get into a college preparatory middle school. Pinedale is an amazing place to send your kids and I am blessed to have my child grow so much academically and behaviorally from the support of this school.

The school used to be great. It went downhill within a year, and all of the longtime teachers left. It got so bad that some teachers left mid-year. They constantly play musical teachers. There's drama amongst the staff which I have witnessed first hand while at school functions. They raise the price of tuition significantly every year to the point that it will no longer be affordable to send even 1 child. The first year, my child was provided with support for special needs. Since then, nothing has been done to support her even after meetings with the counselor, teachers, and the principal. The school is garbage. Save your money and send your child elsewhere.
