The new admin at this school have made huge improvements! As a parent I am extremely excited to see how the next school year goes. I appreciate their compassion, dedication, and discipline. Children and parents need to be held accountable and they have created best balance to do this.

The fact its has a rating of 4 speaks for itself. When a child is distracted their locked into a "cubby hole". I just heard rhis today and I will be fully investigating this.

Mr. Cross is an excellent principal. He works tirelessly to positively support children's growth, learning and development. The staff here is more like family and all of them know each child by sight. This is a wonderful school all around.

The teachers and the principal (Mr. Cross) are all amazing. They support the students to learn and do well. The only thing they can possibly work on is communicating with the parents more. Although they are quite responsive when the parent initiates the contact. Both my children love the school and are happy with the experience so far.

My children say the teachers don't let them run, that means they can't have fun, I don't think the teachers understand how it felt to be in elementary school.

My children say this school sucks. They say this school is so cheap they don't let you get water anymore and the playground stuff are so boring. I wouldn't even rate this school i would give them 0%. You should be nice not bossy. They also say you guys won't let them play cops and robbers or tag and other games its there responsibility if they get hurt and give these children freedom. I think the teachers should do fun things for their student, they need freedom wont you just give it to them.

This is the best school. My child had a really bad experience in her previous school in another school district why we transferred to Ranierview. She was behind in her work and had become introverted. I have to say that i feel blessed with the teachers and support staff in this school. Not only has she blossomed but is now in the gate program. I love the fact that there is an open parent / teacher relationship where we work together for the better of the child and their learning experience. I still have 2 out of four children still attending Ranierview and they continue to do well. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL.
