4.0 Alum

6/16/2017

What I experienced at Ridgecrest was once in a lifetime opportunity. The school itself is just amazing. The faculty always try to help the young students. From the highest level of the faculty to the lowest level. They just want the best for their fellow students. I liked how they tried to make the diverted students for an example the Mexican students feel comfortable and make them feel like they were at home. To make them comfortable and feel as if they were at home they celebrated Cinco de Mayo. I would like to change the way they do their testing at the end of the year. I would like for them to give out the test around the middle of the school year. But overall Ridgecrest Elementary School is a wonderful school to go to.

Students fight constantly over the smallest things it makes no sense.

Not good. My sons teacher was nice. The downside is that there are so many bad disruptive kids that the teachers can’t get their lessons in and finished with the students who want to learn.

This is my son's second year at Ridgecrest, and he LOVES it there. He has had two of the best two teachers at the school (Mrs. L Thomas and Mrs. Perez).Most of the teachers I have had encounters with were very friendly, courteous, and helpful.
