Really think twice about sending your disabled children to this school. The principal doesnt support them, follow ieps or keep them safe
So really beware

Since we moved to the area we were lucky to have our daughter attend RR. She has learned so much in her two years and we are excited for this upcoming year. The staff is friendly, teachers are awesome and Mr. Baldwin does a great job as principal. Always welcomes the students as they arrive to school with high fives. The only issue I have is that cars are driving too fast and not paying attention in the parking area when parents are walking in their children to the entrance. Please remember to slow down!

My son has been a student here for the past two years. When he started, he had a speech delay, which he has since overcome thanks to the school's speech program and dedicated teachers. Last year, we experienced a minor bullying incident, which Mr. Zuniga promptly addressed, ensuring my son and I felt supported and that the situation was resolved effectively. The availability of numerous free after-school programs is a significant benefit. Overall, we are very pleased with the school.

I feel very safe sending my kid to school here. Ronald Regan is a great school with the dual language immersion program.

I cant believe the school only has a 6/10. We have been so pleased with Ronald Reagan Elementary. Were new to the area and this was our first year. The administrative staff is very communicative and the teachers are incredibly experienced and kind. Im already dreading the end of the school year because well miss our teacher do much! My child has excelled in school and if we ever had an issue it was addressed and resolved within a few days.

If you want you kids to have a good and safe education do not send them to this school! The bullys are not punished and the kids that are being bullied are punished for standing up for themselves. There is only a handful of good teachers and the principal ignores requests for meetings. He is quick to punish the children without even finding out what happened. One on the worst schools in the valley.

The teachers there are great. They encourage students to try their best and take questions if they dont understand

Leadership is okay. When I used to go there were people playing in the restrooms and being annoying.

My kids were new to Ronald Reagan this year and our entire family felt welcomed right away! Their teachers were phenomenal, the staff was always kind and professional and my boys got the extra support they needed. Truly a Great School!

Ronald Reagan Elementary has been great for my son. He finished kindergarten this past June and I was so happy with his teachers, the school's administration, and the fun events that were provided for the students. The school does a great job of making parents feel that they are welcomed and really foster parent involvement.
