My children entered Rea View in the middle of the school year, in the middle of a pandemic. They were received with open arms and made to feel like part of the class immediately. The work load was rigorous without being too much, both classroom teachers communicated weekly, one daily via the agenda. If there was ever a concern, I felt that I could talk to the teacher. I appreciate the smooth transition to a new school and my children look forward to going back this fall.

The Assistant Principal (Mrs. Culberson) is amazing! She goes above and beyond for the students and parents!

I'm really surprised about the previous comment. Our daughter and son have both attended RVES. We could not have asked for a better experience. My son is on a 504 and IEP; the teachers and administration have been amazing. The EC teacher is excellent and his classroom teachers have been very accommodating. Both kids loved this school!

I'm not sure why the school was rated a 2 in growth, which affected their overall rating. Vast majority of the students in this school are high achievers. We have two children in the school and have been very pleased with their development. Teachers take the time to focus on the individual needs of each student. A very low teacher to student ratio helps with this. Parents are also very involved with the school which has a nice small community feel to it. Don't hesitate to send your kids here!

As a parent I could not be happier with our experience at ReaView. We have been at the school for 4 years. We have experience from K-5. The staff is outstanding. I cannot say enough about the principal, Donna Cook. She knows the name of every child,sibling and parent. There is such great dedication from the staff to the students. My children love Rea View. They have loved all of their teachers. As a parent I feel that Rea View is a very safe environment. Any visitors are required to enter through the front office and can only be buzzed in after checking in with the staff. As volunteers we have to wear a name badge and can volunteer after we have cleared a background check. I am confident that my children's' educations are in excellent,capable and caring hands.

I have had a child at Rea View since it opened, and have had a great experience from the beginning. I just read the last review (yesterday), and it sounds more like a beef than honest feedback. School has not even started and there may be changes to make sure the students are taken care of. That's how the PTA, teachers and staff work together to make this school amazingly successful on every level year in and year out. Without knowing the grade of the two classes singled out (and the appropriateness of the class size), whether there are teachers assistants also in the room (therefore still maintaining a good FTE teacher to student ratio), and the circumstances makes it really hard to know whether that feedback is terribly valuable.

Students per FTE teacher on this website is 18. However, class sizes for two of the people I know attending in 2011 are 25 and 24.

My daughter started kindergarten this year at Rea View Elementary and I could not be more pleased. I considered home schooling because I was afraid of her being exposed to a poor teaching environment. I could not be more pleased with the teachers or staff. My daughter is reading and doing addition and subtraction with 2 months of school remaining. I used this web site to find good schools while living out of state. Rea View was rated very well and I agree with the rating.

I have been very disappointed in Rea View. We moved to Union County just for the school system and heard wonderful things about it. If you have a perfectly behaved child you will be fine. If you have a child with any type of attention issue or special education need the school will fall short. VERY short. Communication is horrible, they focus on negative re-inforcers in stead of positive ones. Our child has suffered tremendously at the hand of the teacher and the administration's lack of handling situations promptly, appropriately and truthfully.

I am very pleased with Rea View elementary school. My daughter has attended for 2 years now and excels academically. The facilities, Teachers, principal are all excellent. The specials (PE, art, music, spanish) are great with good teachers.

My kids go here. The school does the absolute minimum to game their test scores. Here are just some examples: - Last year, my daughters class was given 30 mins extra to complete the EOGs. - My 3rd grader had a math test. Multiplication by zero... (yes you read it right). - My son was given his exam questions before hand so that they could use it as an aid. - My son had an open book exam. They had the page numbers on the questions where they could get the answers. - The school does absolutely nothing extra in terms of academic activities. No participation in any of the following: Odyssey of the Mind, Science Olympiad etc. - Other TD programs are poor at best. We have not received any information on other programs available to kids. Luckily, we have friends who have kids going to schools that help parents out by sending out additional information/resources. - The lack of energy shown by the principal runs through the entire staff and is evident in the lack of excitement across everything. If you have an option... look elsewhere.
