Awesome staff and administration. The school really invests in the students growth and well being. Most teachers have been there for years which is a testament to the go distance and care the kids feel. No clue what the 1 star rating referencing drill sergeants. Kids have so many positive things to...

We had a terrible experience at Ridgewood Elementary School in the Renton. We read about and hear on the news about schools actively ignoring educational goals of students in favor of their own agenda.
