Dr. Gardner has transformed the culture of Ross Elementary. I am confident in my children's safety and learning at school. Communication from the school leaders and teachers is much better. Ross Proud!

Ross Elementary is definitely an up and coming school! So many amazing things and events have taken place since principal Nick Gardner took over. The admin this year is so amazing and supportive of every student and family and truly do all they can to make a positive impact. The staff continue to try and make positive and impactful connections in the students lives.

Ross Elementary's teachers and staff work hard each day to ensure children are learning at high levels. Morning community promotes kindness, confidence and pride.

The school has its share of ups and downs. The students come from very diverse backgrounds and I think the educators and principals do the best they can to support those students and provide a safe environment. Academics isn't as strong as I'd like to see, but due to behavior there's only so much teaching that can be done.

The education being provided is poor. The kids errors are not corrected on their schoolwork leading to believe that the way they spell or write is right. The staff is careless and the teachers are agressive toward the children.
