Overall I believe that RISD is a great place for our children to get an education. The teachers are current and up to date with the newest and best ways to approach and teach each student where they are, and with where they are with their learning abillities. Our administrations is amoung the best in the state. Starting at the top with Mr. Doyle Russell our Superintendent. He has provided leadership and has lead by example. Our children, a sixth grader, a sophomore, and a senior are all going to be prepared for college upon graduating from Ranger public schools. They have had instilled in them the vaules not only what I have provided them with but what each one of their fine teachers have provided as well. I strongly feel that Ranger is a great place for a child to attend.
