Ruskin Elementary School

First off, I have 2 children enrolled in this school. My youngest is in kindergarten and he has seemed to have had a better experience as opposed to my daughter who is in 5th grade. I usually have high respect for teachers as I have been in the educational system before and have friends who currently also are in the education system, I under the stresses of having children who may not behave on a daily basis. However I will not understand teachers who make a point to bully students. My daughter has never had an issue with teachers in all her years of being in school. She infact was always a teachers pet, she may chit chat and we address it when it becomes a problem but overall I have never had experienced her being singled out except on occasion and again, if it becomes an issue I address it with her. This year, we have moved back to Florida and she has been singled out continuously and even her friends have told me that the teachers seem to make a point to single her out even when she isn’t do anything at all. I have addressed my issues with one of her teachers and it went unaddressed and the other teacher seems to really have it out for her as well. Essentially it seems my child gets ganged up on by a man who claims to be religious and a women who can’t seem to get her emotions under control. I am also aware of the fact that my daughter who was always an A and B student now has D’s and requested she be able to attend an afterschool program the school apparently offers but WAS DENIED. I would not recommend this school if your child is mixed or being considered a minority to this school. I would not recommend your child attending this school if they are going to 5th grade. Be aware that if you have concerns they will not be addressed. There are teachers here who do care but unfortunately my daughter got stuck with teachers who find it enjoyable to bully her and hinder her education and ambition to better in school.

I would like everybody to know this is a great school not only for the resources and the education but the staff they treat the whole school and community around them as if they were their own they go away beyond their duties and more to make sure every kid has the tools to succeed my child is hearing impaired they offered audiology services I just can't go to explain how important and how wonderful they are I truly think that from the bottom of our hearts and we would not know what to do without them thank you for the whole entire staff that is connected with reskin elementary school thank you and God bless you

Great school!! They truly care about the kids and the Christian aspect really gives them solid moral values. Best school in the area hands down

There are so many educational resources not being utilized accordingly at this school to help these kids who are at a disadvantage due to language barriers and poverty, it shows in their suboptimal test scores. Where is the money going that funds these school programs? Why aren’t the achievement scores improving despite the additional resources provided to Ruskin Elem?

great school great staff gread place the Priscipal is helpful and great person
