Red Bank Elementary School

Lexington District One is the best district in the area, and Red Bank Elementary is the best school in all of Lexington District One. I have had children at Gilbert Elementary and White Knoll Elementary, and they are great schools too, but RBE is the best! RBE has a Spanish Immersion program and RBE is the school in Lex. 1 that is the pilot for the RISC model, a new way of teaching that engages the children-it's a revolutionary approach in which students are the navigators-it's really awesome. RBE also utilizes technology and integrates it into the learning process, and they have a radio show that one of my daughter's is on. My oldest daughter has grown so much personally since she has been going to RBE. She has been on the A honor role every year since she began. I have never had one problem with any of her teachers, and they are all very loving and caring. Once I did have another student bully my daughter, and the assistant principal put a stop to it immediately. The principal is an excellent role model. This school is great!!!!

The Principal of this school is so consumed with her own image that she neglects the needs of the students and the desires of the Parents. They also overlook a lot of behavior problems at the expense of other children.

My grandchildren are having a great experience at this school. It has a very exciting and welcoming feeling when you walk in the door. The teachers are working hard to provide experiences that are interesting and exciting to promote learning.

I think Red Bank Elementary is a neighborhood school to be proud of. They have a super faculty and staff, and they modify their teaching to best meet the needs of the children there. They have had a Spanish Immersion Program for the younger children, and when I see the children coming home, they look happy, like they've had a happy day. I would not hesitate to send a child of ours to Red Bank Elementary, if we had children. I taught for 25 years myself, at a different school, so I feel I am qualified to make judgements about another elementary school and I think that Red Bank Elementary is doing a superior job of teaching its students.

I had never heard very good things about the Red Bank area and was a little nervous when my son was going into 4k at RBE. We have now been at Red Bank for 3 years and I can't imagine being more pleased. The Teachers are so involved and caring! The Administrators are the best I have ever seen! We have never had even one problem. I have many friends who teach elementary schools in and out of the district and I can say Red Bank is one of the best. The school is very involved with the community and offers family nights at the school at least once a month where your whole family is welcome at the school for dinner and educational entertainment at no cost to the parents. I am extremely pleased!!

You couldn't get more loving and caring teachers than at this school. They really care and are concerned about the school.

Red Bank Elementary School is a great school. I was nervous about my child going there at first because I haven't heard much about it. But, the teachers are great and love the students. You can tell they realy care and work hard to teach them. The Principals are great too they are very involved and concerned for the children. I've seen nothing wrong with the school unless it was something the dist. controled.

This school is one of the worst schools I've ever had to deal with. There are too many teachers who are tired of teaching and have become short tempered and lack any real passion about their jobs. Anything positive that they do at the school is more for show, than for actually doing something positive for the kids. We are looking to move out of this school district as soon as possible.

Red Bank Elementary School is awesome! It is large enough to have talented and capable principles and teachers, but not so large that your child feels lost in the crowd. My child feels loved and supported there and is able to grow in knowledge and spirit. My daughter is the 3rd child I have had at RBE. The school building is a little older than some, but the people and community make up for the difference by far.

My child goes to RBE. She is in fifth grade this year. But the problem that the school has caused me to send her to another school out of the district to get the education she needed. The bullying problem is awful and no one wants to admit that there is a problem. Everyone is so worried about the kids doing well on the PACT test that they forget why we send our children their in the first place. I am not happy with the teachers their either, my child had a problem with understanding what she reads. They are unwilling to try and help her. My brother went to school here years ago, at that time it was a good school. I would not recommend this school to any one.
