Overall my experience with this school has been great with my 2 children. The parent involvement seems to be very important and is a big factor that allows the teacher to focus on the children. Very high recommendations for anyone that may be debating having their children attending there.
Great teachers, kids happy and interested in learning more than average. Music program excellent.
Excellent elementary school. My son enjoyed his 3 years in this school. The academic program is revised every other year and I had the opportunity to help at the School District level. The teachers are very friendly and good role models for the kids. We were very please with overall program and the homework load.
Abundant academic programs. Parents are involved. Music program great. Child in band and choir. Teachers good.
We have been involved at 2 other schools in the PBVUSD here in Bakersfield. We are extremely impressed with the level of parent, teacher and administration involvement at Ronald Reagan Elementary. We would not want our children at any other school!
Ronald Reagan Elementary is a great school with fabulous teachers and a curriculum unlike any. The teachers are seriously commited to their students and the parents alike. My three children are a part of the Reagan family,and they will tell anyone who will listen about all the wonderful teachers and programs at school. My kids are challenged every year. They are encouraged to strive for goals they once thought of as impossible. All the while being supported by very talented teachers. The Parent Club is a very active and integral part of this school. Our fundraisers have been used for many benefits to the children. The goal is always to benefit the kids. Parent involvement is welcomed, appreciated and always encouraged both by the Parent Club as well as the teachers and staff. Ronald Reagan is an excellent place for your kids to learn.
We chose our current neighborhood because of the high rating of the school. Overall we are satisfied, although we believe there is a 'hard' edge that is at times quite pronounced, by that we mean the school seems to be all business with little homey feel at all. This is from the administration and from at least two teachers in particular, who showed little empathy to our child as she's progressed through the grades. Our sense, and the teachers agree, is that the school district's--and this school's--response to the recent pressure to raise scores has resulted in a curriculum that is almost too challenging, further feuling the 'hard' edge we referred to earlier.
Wonderful experience for my children. Wouldn't want them anywhere else in town
Ronald Reagan is a fantastic school. The children are relatively well behaved, parent involvement is incredible, and the quality of instructional staff is stellar.
