hi I’m a parent coming from ridge crest elementary and I believe that this school deserves a 10/10 because my kid goes there and they love it there, whenever they come home they tell me how much fun they had and how much they learned! And one time they said that it feels like their second home.

Posted by a parent on 6/14/2014I visited Ridgecrest today as it is the assigned school for our neighborhood. I was able to meet with the principal and she gave me a tour of the school. It is an old school so the outside is a little run down, but the inside was very nice. I was also happy to see how pleasant and engaged the
Posted by a parent on 2/19/2014I was assigned to the principalship of Ridegcrest ES in June 2011 and have since taken measures to engage our staff, parents and community in supporting our students as they grow to become productive members of our society. We are the Ridgecrest Rockets and we are "Blasting off to High Achievement".

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI don't believe the school has before-care, so I'm not sure what that other commenter is referring to. Overall, the school has questionable practices in my opinion. Scores were poor last year, and it's hard to get transparent and honest information from the administration. Nearby charters have more to offer.Parent Review1y ago - DC Bilingual PCS

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love DCB and the community around the school. Ms Daniela is a superlative leader who has built a team around her that values student success and bringing out the best in everyone. The school has been able to retain highly effective teachers because they’re willing to sacrifice the higher pay of DCPS to stay in the warm community of DCB. We have been parents of DCB students for seven years now and can’t imagine sending our kids anywhere else. Homework is limited to reading (in both Spanish and English) which helps develop a love of learning in the kids and reflects the most recent research that worksheet type busywork isn’t effective in younger grades. My 9 year old helped fill this out, and he noted, “There is definitely no bullying, I’ve never seen anything like bullying at DCB.”Parent Review4y ago - Hope Community PCS - Lamond

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI give this school zero stars. Someone I know got punched in the face and the school did nothing about this incident. Some kid named “Angel” punched the person I know, who at that time was in Kindergarten, riding the bus, going home. The kid “Angel” punched the kid I know for not moving, Angel wanted the seat on the bus, but there were some empty seats around the bus that were available. We contacted the school and told them about the incident, they did nothing. I am disappointed. I hope this school starts doing something about these types of incidents. Thank you to the girl on the bus who helped the person I know. We are grateful to you for giving her a napkin, since her nose was bleeding. The person I know stopped going to this school afterwards.Parent Review4y ago - Chillum Elementary School
