Ridgeview Charter School

We have been very impressed with the teaching staff at RCMS and the overall feel of the school. There is such a wide variety of classes and activities for the students- Orchestra, Band, Chorus and foreign languages are offered as a part of the daily curriculum. The parent-run Foundation provides funding to support extra sports programs as well- including softball, volleyball, soccer, cross country, basketball, tennis....the list goes on. Everywhere you turn there is something going on and a way for students to try new things. Parents seem very engaged and supportive of the school programs. The IB program at Ridgeview is a huge plus for us as well because we feel it will best prepare our children to participate in the International Baccalaureate degree program available in high school. We feel very fortunate to have such a good public middle school available in our neighborhood.

This was my child’s first year at RCMS and a warm welcome was not given. He was immediately judged and harassed not by students but by teachers. If your child has an IEP I would NOT recommend this school. My child experienced being singled out by staff, his grades were not updated in the system until it was time to turn in grades. Therefore, I did not know my child was missing or having trouble in any class until the very last minute. I sent emails to teachers constantly only to have them harass my child even more. This is not the type of “professionalism” I would expect from a school.

We just finished our 6th grade year at RCMS. It was outstanding! The education is top notch! We could not have asked for a better 1st year of middle school. Each teacher truly loves teaching middle school children. We participated in band, robotics, and a few sports. Each was engaging and each teacher/coach worked on the students as a whole - academic, social, emotional. A gem of a school in Sandy Springs and we are lucky to be a part of this community!

This school is amazing, I will recommend this school for every kid for a good education .

Ridgeview Charter Middle School is a wonderful neighborhood school! The administration and staff are very engaged with students. We are just beginning our middle school journey in the sixth grade but we've been very impressed with the quality of instruction and level of communication from teachers. The music program (band, orchestra and chorus) really stands out among other schools with very high levels of participation.We also love the diversity offered at the school, both ethnic and socioeconomic. Overall, it has been a great experience so far and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ridgeview to anyone in the district. We feel fortunate to be here!
