My 4th grader has been attending Ridgeview since Kindergarten, and has a wonderful experience here. I feel like all of the staff at this school, from his teachers, to office staff to yard duties, etc., really care about him and his progress. Each teacher has given him any support he has needed, in different ways. I'll always be grateful to his 1st grade teacher, who pushed for him to receive more speech/language services. There will always be kids with behavior problems, but generally the kids and parents are great here. I don't know about test scores or any of the other measurables that go into a rating, but our experience at Ridgeview has been phenomenal.

More than half of the students here are on free and reduced lunch. The campus is dirty and lacks parental involvement. Residence of Cali Mesa have trashed up this area. Their API scores are just above the state requirement. I would never send my kids here again! We pay for private school now!

One of the best public schools around when it comes to staff, value of education, and discipline. The students test so high that the schools curriculum is advanced giving them an advantage over other schools while at the same time offering programs for students who learn at a slower pace so they are comfortable without falling behind.

I absolutely love Ridgeview. My children have thrived. It is such a tight family and everyone always looks out for one another. Every teacher is amazing in their own way. The principle knows each child by name! Who does that? I highly recommend Ridgeview.

Ridgeview Elementary School in Yucaipa is such a great school!! All the teachers are so great with the children. I like the way the teachers focus in Math and Reading/Writing starting as early as Kindergarten. What helps a lot is having a great principal Mr. Joe Hyde he is easy to talk to, listens to whatever concerns you might have and does something about it. He is an excellent principal! Ridgeview is an excellent school I am a very picky person and hard to satisfy but this school is such an excellent school!!! A+ for Ridgeview Elementary School!

Both od my kids attended RES all the from keg to 6 th grade. The education they received was fantastic. The teachers are very knowledgable about the curriculum and they individualize for each student's needs.

This school has a positive approach to education. The principal has a prerecorded message she sends out frequently, keeping us updated on school events. The school actively encourages programs such as First In Math and asks for sponsors to help the underpriviledged pay so they can participate in those programs as well. This school has the most positive teachers I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
