Riverside Elementary School

Im very happy with this school, their teachers and staff. My son is been there since 1st grade and now his in 6th grade, thanks to to the school and teachers he has grown up to be a mature respectful and responsible person.

I wouldn't recommend this school anymore since the principal, Mrs. Scott, retired. It is more like an Alternative school than one that cares about all the students' safety and education. It is full of students who have been expelled and kicked out of other schools, and they are not accepted at any other school except Zach White. They won't protect your child from bullying, and they will likely protect the bully and give them a pass without facing any consequences for their vicious actions; in fact, they are capable of switching the role and making the bully the victim. Many teachers are not happy, the students are out of control, many open vacancies that are filled by substitutes. The New Admin is missing a lot of important educational events and has no plan.

The teachers are concerned about the development and education of the children. The teachers go above and beyond assisting our children on their free time to overcome any academic challenges they are facing. Christian environment.

Played a basketball game against you on a Wednesday. A parent approached our kids with hand sanitizer stating her son had the flu. Here it is Sunday and our entire family is sick. Thank you so much. Did you not learn anything from Covid?

Iron sharpens iron When we moved to El Paso in 2014, we were looking for private Christian education for our 3 children. We looked into two of the most well-known options, St. Marks and St. Matthews. While we might easily have settled for one of the two, something called us to dig deeper for our kids. I am not quite sure how we stumbled upon Community of Faith Christian School, but after the first visit I was glad we hadn't settled for the others. The small class sizes allow the dedicated cadre of teachers to take these kids to the upper echelons of academic excellence. In spite of the rigour, the kids really support each other so that no one is made to feel like they don't belong. Perhaps the only downside is that, given the small class sizes, everyone has to pull together to raise funds. We were surprised to learn the school has been around for over 30 years, because it seems like the best-kept secret in west El Paso education. In any event, this hidden gem of a school deserves wider publicity. If you are seeking a truly exceptional educational experience for your child, there is one elite school that stands apart from the rest: CFCS.

I just found this website a week ago. I wish I had known about it sooner, although I'm not sure I would have had the courage to comment on our negative experience in 2015. I wanted to love this school. I was excited to enroll my child at St. Matthew's. However, there is one day I'll never forget and forever feel heartbroken about. In retrospect, I wish I had sent my child to Montessori instead. The former principal (Olga Macias) shattered my illusion that a child is safe while they are at school. When I asked "Where was the supervision while the children are on lunch break?", her response was "I've talked to the teachers." A word to the wise, never trust a principal that repeatedly states "Trust me."
