Ridgeview Elementary School

2 stars. My child is gifted. I provided IQ tests, tests scores, etc I attempted to meet with teachers and staff to get him what he needed to learn at a pace like everyone else. For 2 years we got almost no resources for him. When talking with the Principal, she told me , "by 3rd grade, the other kids will catch up." I got out of the district as fast as I could. I got to another district with great GT programs. My son, now in the 3rd grade, has the highest tests scores in the district. He is being put in a full time accelerated GT program. I'm glad I got out of the school whose solution to his giftedness was to have him learn nothing for 3 years so other children could catch up.

I would not recommend going to this school. They called dcfs on my daughter for having what dcfs itself said was petty and normal shin bruising for a child. I understand they are mandated reporters. I also understand that probably half the children in the school have bruised shins on a daily basis. Ncommunication from

Our daughter attended from Kindergarten through 8th grade. She was extremely well prepared for high school academically and socially. This is a great school that encourages parents to be active participants, celebrates diversity, and offers ample opportunities that other schools can't match with their after school programs. We would have stayed through high school if that was an option.

St Vincent’s has always been my home ! My sister was the first baby girl baptized there My kids my grandkids as myself attended church and school there! My children and l even had a few of the same teachers ! I thank God for the blessing of my church and l pray that my children and grandchildren love,believe,and respect and adore ! We’re children are taught at home first then school!

We love this school! It’s small but mighty- the teachers are warm and wonderful.

Parents and teachers are serious educating the students and school produces well taught smart students who are very respectful.
