My nephew begin preschool at Ringwood School this past 2015-16 school year. My family and I were…read morevery excited for him to start school so he could make gains in the academic milestones he's behind in and increase his opportunities to socialize! I brought him to school early on in the year (he had attended a few days to that point). A non-school related familial issue occurred unexpectedly that day (mid-commute, actually..). When I arrived, Principal Elbert immediately brought me into his office, where we discussed the situation and concerns related to my nephew. He was AMAZING - very kind and sympathetic, and assured me what role he and his staff would play in regards to my nephew's well-being. My brother (nephew's father) has had extensive contact with Principal Elbert - both before the day I sat down with him and regularly by phone throughout this school year. I know I speak for my entire family when I say the communication is appreciated more than we can articulate. I'm so relieved to know that my nephew is in compassionate and capable hands, and that Principal Elbert and the staff are keeping an eye on him and his best interests.

Ehh! I'm not always lovin it. Nice helpful teachers but assistant principal. Mr Hibler isn't nice…read moreand yells at kids. Who likes that? Not me! Otherwise this school is great and my children enjoy going here!

My three children have attended Riverwood Elementary School (Zoe, 8 Kayla, 11 Michael, 5. ) I love…read morethis school! This Principal, Mrs. Robinson, is a very nice lady and will take ANY questions you may have about ANYTHING!!! Assistant Principal, Mr Hibler, is just O.K. He yells at children, which is why I gave the school three stars. I would say the classrooms are decent size, but could be bigger, especially when you have a bigger class. I'm not sure the yelling at children helps stop the child from doing bad things, but it may seem rude to parents, and may scare the children. I love the teachers my children have had. The children's teachers are: Kayla: K Miss Tessler, 1 Ms Fricke, 2 Miss Micklinghoff, 3 Mrs Hauck, 4 Ms Hare (Kolowaski) 5, Ms Sterbenz (now) Zoe: K Miss M, 1 Ms Erber, 2 Miss DeBlok, 3 Miss Hauck (now) Michael: K Miss M (now) So overall the teachers I have crossed paths with are nice and helpful. Would recommend except for the assistant principal!
