Ruth Livingston Elementary School

We’ve only been with the school district for a year but have been pleasantly surprised. They have always encouraged and remained optimistic with learning goals. I feel like they have given full attention for my kiddo and have helped her progress in areas that were lacking just a few months ago.

Terrible. I believe some teachers at this school should not be around children. My son was traumatized by his second grade teacher and others. He was called stupid, threaten, sent to the principals office to scare him when he did nothing, recorded as he struggled to read (he’s dyslexic), was forced to wear reading glasses as the teacher read from a book (he did not have a book in front of him), he was made fun of for the content of his backpack after the teacher forced him to empty it (without cause), I could go on.

This school does not take the safety and well-being of the students seriously. Bullies are rampant and the office does not bother to communicate with you even when your child(ren) are actively experiencing violence regularly. They are also sexist and will not contact the primary caregiver if that caregiver is a male and will only contact the female even it is agreed upon and on multiple occasions addressed that the male is the one available for calls and all other communication. They don't take care of their students. And the safeguarding of students at pickup is horrible. If there's a substitute, expect that your 2nd grader will be walking out unsupervised and unaccounted for.
