Ruffner Middle School

The teachers are using a new tool called Alexia for reading. The computer time spent is a challenge between classmates and grades to improve their own score. Since my kids view it as a "level" challenge in math and reading. I feel confident they will do great in their exams from what I have seen. They make do with what is provided, but improvements can be made by education system towards this school.I believe they have started a Math Club that is optional to all grades.

NPS is already garbage but this school is absolutely terrible! Do not send your children here if you love them. The leadership at this place is all over the place and everyone seems very comfortable with chaos. 0 stars.

Many, many years ago, I taught kindergarten at Lindenwood. It was on of my very best teaching experiences! There was great parent evolvement there! Great community school! Yes, there were some behavior issues. You’ll find that anywhere. However, I had incarcerated parents, yet they absolutely adored their child! I had exhausted students because their new sibling slept in the same room. Oh, there were many more! However, we just rolled with it all, trying to meet the needs of every student on every level! The students wanted to learn! Over all students were well behaved. I’d go back in a heartbeat if I still lived there!

I'm ready for my grandson to attend another school.

My kids have been here since they were toddlers and we have had nothing but overwhelming positive experiences. I can’t recommend the school enough and every year they add more opportunities for the kids. It keeps getting better. The price tag is brutal but I can’t imagine sending them anywhere else.
