Riddle Elementary School

This is an amazing school! The principle's philosophy is that the student body is one family, learning and serving together. Not only is education important to the staff at Riddle, but an emphasis on the whole child is stressed. The children are taught to reach out into their community and help others and become the best that they can be. Parents are welcomed and are heavily involved in the day to day activities of the children. LOVE this school!!

Great school, ethnically very diverse, which is a BIG + and makes the environment very competitive for my niece and nephew. Teachers are very engaged, caring, and deeply involved. School has stimulating academic programs which keep them fully engaged and challenged. I look forward to sending my son to Riddle next year.

My child will go to Kindergarten this Fall and Riddle is going ABOVE AND BEYOND to make the transition to elementary school as smooth as it can be. We've already been to one "story time" at the school library this Summer, and afterwards we walked around the school. I expect to attend 4 more of these story times plus two "popcicle" events this Summer and hopefully my daughter will be as comfortable with the place as I am by the time school starts in August! Principal and president of PTA were on hand on Tuesday to meet parents at story time. So far, I'm impressed, and I was a teacher in my former life!

Couldn't agree more with previous reviews - our daughter is in her 4th year there and can't get into the building fast enough every morning. We enjoy being able to visit for assembly, which is always fun, and lunch whenever we want. Staff and curriculum all teach students something most schools have forgotten, which is that there is way more to education than what comes from books. Keep up the great work.

The student population is VERY ethnic. Chinese and Indians account for an extraordinarily large proportion of the student body. But the principal is absolutely wonderful, as is the staff, and I have the highest regard for each and every one of them.

I have tried a few schools in frisco and in plano, but so far this is the best. My son loves it. He loves the teachers and the way they make him like school. The school is ver organized, good security, and everyone seems to be happy in there.

Extraordinary school!! My child loves school due to the wonderful staff and environment at riddle. Not only has his education been supreme here, but his confidence and love for learning have truly impressed us. The principal ms. Taylor is very friendly, visible, available and genuinely loves her students. The administration is very involved in the numerous activities this campus hosts. We love the friday morning 'pep rallies' (good morning riddle!) that parents are encouraged to attend. The school recognizes everything from the student's birthdays, acheivements both in and out of school, and they do fun things like singing songs/do skits/have special visitors---and just have a blast! all of my child's teachers at this school have been wonderful too. Riddle truly sets the standards for all other elementary schools!!!

This school is AMAZING! The teachers are super friendly and compassionate, as is the administrative team and staff. My son was READING in Kindergarten. He absolutely loves going to school. Riddle does fun field trips, creative activities both during and after school, and really make the learning process enjoyable. They had a camp-out for their last week of school - they brought sleeping bags, flashlights, the teachers made camp shirts for the students - and parents mailed letters to their child to the school just like a camp trip....how cool is that?! We cant say enough good things about this campus!
