Ridgecrest Elementary School

My granddaughter just started here a couple of weeks ago and just loves the school and her teacher. From the first day, they made her feel welcome. I'm looking forward to attending activities with her in the coming year.

Mrs. Olson,My Teacher is wonderful and i like cheese and pizza and blah blah blah

Ridgecrest is a great school! I am on my second trip through with my younger son and haven't yet had a teacher I didn't love. Mrs. Harris, the principal is amazing and I love what she has done for the school. I really for a long time!hope she stays

This is an outstanding school and I agree it should receive a 10. There is never a teacher I hope my kids don't get as they are all excellent. Since we were lucky enough to acquire Mrs. Harris as principal two years ago, the school has only gotten better. She is very involved with the students and has started all sorts of programs reaffirming how great all the kids at the school are and how much she apprciates each and every one of them. We will be moving soon and I am really going to miss this school. Anyone would be lucky to have their kids attend Ridgecrest.

I am suprised this school did not rate a 9 or a 10! This is our first year in this school and district. My daughter has had an exceptional year. Her 6th grade teachers are enthusiastic, innovative and well respected by the students. We could not be more pleased with our Ridgecrest experience!

We recently moved up to Washington from California and our 3 children have been enrolled in Ridgecrest Elem. for just over a year. I can not express enough what a huge difference (positive) Ridgecrest has been for my children. In Calif. my daughter was slipping in her reading and at Ridgecrest they picked up on that immediately and put her in a special program (we saw immediate results. Also, we were amazed at the PTA's true involvement and were very impressed to find out about a once a month 'Family Night' where the PTA sponsors an event (roller skating, crafts, etc.) We as parents have been encouraged to get involved & volunteer. In short, this school has reminded us that our child doesn't have to be just a number and that there are still some good public schools out there. Thank you!
