My youngest have been in attendance here for that last three years. My son's previous schools just let him slide through the cracks so that when he entered 3rd grade at ridgeview he couldn't read or write!! The staff and Mrs Johnson were incredible! They got my son back on track with his peers. I don't know how they do it but they are excellent at making sure every child is individually loved unconditionally. Thanks to Ridgeview my son is back on the right foot and will be completing his last year of elementary there. They also offer a lot of exclusive opportunities and engagement for children that attend a public school and may not have experienced these activities otherwise (ie safety bicycle classes, free ski/snowboard lessons, and many other opportunities). I can't say enough good things about the principal and her staff.

Both of my kids have attended Ridgeview since 2020, and its been a great experience. The teachers genuinely care, and my kids feel safe, welcomed, and eager to go to school. I do wish there were more mental health supports, though I understand thats a district-level decision. I appreciate the schools commitment to engage families through different opportunities. Overall, Ridgeview has provided a supportive and positive environment for my kids to learn and grow.

Ridgeview has strong community support. The teachers and leadership care about the children and families. Small school size allows students to be known.

I highly recommend this school for its dedicated teachers who prioritize building strong relationships with students and the community. Their emphasis on parental involvement through the PTA showcases their commitment to a collaborative educational experience. Additionally, the exceptional administrative team adds to the overall positive atmosphere and efficient operation of the school.

I had my first day as an instructional assistant here. I've never been treated so poorly! The office manager was rude whenever I had to perform tasks for the teacher I worked with, another teacher in the resource room was angry that I was a first timer and a member of the lunch staff became angry with a young girl for politely declining seconds from her. She literally chased the girl as the girl headed outside, calling her ungrateful and spoiled and more. Needless to say, I will never work there again. The other schools I worked at following this bad experience have never displayed such behavior.

This school is a disappointment while the physical structure is indeed quality the rest of the school lags seriously in both quality and attention to detail. The principal has issues returning any attempts at contact with parents. I would highly advise against enrolling your child in this school.
