My daughter has been at Richland for 3 years. She has had two fabulous teacher and one horrible teacher. However, the new principal has made major changes and I can definitely see the imrpovements this year. The classroom size has increased, but this has happened at all schools in our district. Overall, the teachers, parents and students are very inolved in this wonderful school.

Richland wins awards in achievement but also in spirit, despite budget cuts and many students being poor and having to learn English as a second language. They could really use the award money for music, art, and so many things that were cut. Thanks for your support :)

I am very dissatified with this school. Last year we had a teacher that was less then understand about my sons medical condition and most of the time he came home in pain. Son was teriffied of his teacher. This year we are already 4 days into school and once again. The school is not fitting his needs! They told me that this is all they offered for school lucnh and breakfast. No lactose free! Am very irriated! Cant get an inter school transfer because all the classes are full due to our wonderful govener!

I am so very imppressed with Richland school! We recently moved and we came from a private christian school (both my 4th grader and my kindergatener). Didn't really expect wonders here, just wanted to get by our hard time, cut the expenses. And I was so wrong. The teachers here are so into the details, I felt the difference from the first teacher parents conference. We got more into the details than the previous school at the 5 minutes conference. Instead of saying 'your son's handwriting is messy', they said, he has hard time writing a good circle at his handwriting. What a difference!, you know what to do, what to help, where to put your effort!! 50 years does makes the difference. I am truly in love with this school, and we are not going anywhere else.

Richland is 50 years old this year and going strong. We have generations of students who have pride in saying that they went to Richland Elementary School. Happy 50th Richland!

Richland School is the best. The teachers keep you well inform, the staff is great but most of all everyone knows everyone. I'm very glad my child attends this school.
