Richland Avenue Elementary School

Richland is a wonderful school and a gem tucked away in a residential neighborhood. It is a small school with a large campus and large heart. I always feel welcome on campus, in the parent groups and in my child's classroom. I couldn't ask for a better elementary school experience for my child.

My daughter, who is now finishing her school year at Richland's pre-K program, LOVES this school and can't wait to start kindergarten, which is a testament to the wonderful teaching staff as well as the nurturing school environment. There is a charming, small-town, but progressive, vibe to this school that I've not found elsewhere--and I'm also a step-parent of an older child who attended (on permit) a 10 out of 10 rated elementary school in Bel Air. In terms of the sense of community and the respectful manners and leadership skills I've seen demonstrated by the kids I've observed on the Richland school yard and during events, Richland is a top-notch, classy school with parents who place a high value on academics as well as raising compassionate, poised, values-based kids. We also love the 1+acre school teaching garden and the CSA organic produce program organized by the booster club.

I have 2 boys who attend Richland Ave. and LOVE it. There are so many great aspects about this small, community, neighborhood school. I have a 5th grader who started in Kindergarten and now i have a new one in Transitional Kinder. My 5th grader is top of his class and has excelled each year. I attribute this to the phenomenal teaching staff who care about the individuality of the children. My TK boy has already learned how to read and is thrilled by all the extracurricular activities he gets to participate in. The school is academic as well as filled with a variety of art programs and a fabulous after school program where the kids continue to learn as well as play sports, games, art and more. It's a little gem of a school that not many people know about!!!!

My son is absolutely thriving at this great neighborhood school. A small student body, huge campus, and great teachers is any parents dream. Plus they have an excellent Transitional Kindergarten program. We are very, very happy our child attends Richland Avenue...GO TIGERS!
