My son is thriving at this school! Student/teacher ratio is 20-1, and even the principal makes time for you and welcomes questions. FAR superior to OPS!

Wonderful school! Wemoved here 6 years ago from a small town and I was scared to enroll my girls in OPS so we chose Ralston. The first few years at Mockingbird were great. Karen Western is wonderful as well. It has the 'small town feel' with only 21 in my daugheter's entire class! Talk about a great teacher / child ratio!

I like the teachers and they have several activities that include the family. My daughter was an introvert and now she is interested in school and socializes with a good balance. No bullying some clicks but nothing harmful.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
