Ridgecrest Intermediate School

Overall this school is terrific. Yes, some teachers are better than others, but the counselors help with any issues that we have had. Yes, there is too much homework! But the PV District in general is about a year ahead of other local districts- Is that better or not? Personal opinion it isnt, especially if your child is bright but not quite yet an engineer, rocket scientist or a member of an orchestra! Mr. Oschman and Ms.Felix are outstanding in their fields. The principal, Mr. Corwin and all office staff go above and beyond to try to make the education experience a great experience for all the students. Not an easy task. Recommend this school- yes I do.

Is this really a school? It should close down. Again. It is terrible. In the academic classes they disguise it as "challenging you" but they were really just badly explaining the curriculum and then assigning an overdose of homework questions that the kids don't even know. There is a terribly scarce selection of extracurricular activities and electives. I wish I could sue them.

I think the teachers are great! There are fun school experiences and all of my friends have fun! I don't know of any bullying and i go to school here. Mr. Mcbride rocks just saying best teacher ever! However some teachers are getting pink slips, but instead of trying to save them, we have dj parties and give away ipods. What up with that?

RIS is a very wonderful place. The teachers, hand picked by the outstanding principal, are incredibly dedicated and compassionate about the cause of making sure that every student experiences success, and that every child reach their potential. They recognize different learning styles and are able to bring out the best in so many children who otherwise would have managed to stay on the fringes.

Check out the principal very carefully and talk to other parents that may have had issues at Ridgecrest. School is great and some very excellent teachers there.

I'm a student, and I love this school. All of the teachers are energetic and love their work, the material is challenging, and there are always new opportunities to excel. I and my friends love Ridgecrest, as it is one of the few public schools that really work hard for your education.
