Ruskin is a great school. My daughters teachers have been very nice to her and teach her well. If she has a problem she can ask the teacher and they will help. Also her teachers will reach out to the parents if they need to. On a day to day basis we communicate. The principal is Awesome and is very hands on. On a daily basis she goes around the school and talks to her students. Making it a fun and happy learning experience.
