    As a new resident of this district, I am appalled at the lack of resources and availability this…read moredistrict has for school aged children. Childcare in this district is dependent upon the school the child attends, which means you are required as a parent to submit a request to transfer your child to another school in most cases further from home, just to be sure you can receive before and after school care. All elementary schools offer afterschool care, but lack the necessary support to facilitate more children, so instead the children are waitlisted until whenever. Unfortunately this is now causing me to miss work and I can't imagine how many more families are coming out of the pocket or missing work because of this issue as well. It is so unsettling to move to a new city/district and not have no definitive care for my child. This district so far has made me feel somewhat regretful. When going to the registration department for school transfers, because of the influx of requests, they can't assure you anything, and unfortunately have to crowd certain schools in order to accommodate the parents requests. Although I too need this request, I can very well see why this is an issue and why certain schools are more crowded than others. This is counterproductive to providing adequate resources for this community and works against the betterment of the child. This is not a small county and more can definitely be done within this school district, especially when houses are continuously being built as if families with school aged children are not the ones buying them. It's unfair to our children and creates an unnecessary hardship on the parents. Redistricting your county is not going to fix the problem if the resources are still not there. Partner with more childcare providers who have busses and can care for school aged kids, create RUSD facilities and jobs for before and after school care programs. RUSD needs to upgrade their level of management with this issue. It seems as if it is an already known issue so I hope this is taken seriously and made a priority for our children's care.

    This review is regarding Highland Elementary in Riverside. My son (1st grade) attended this…read moreschool since august 9th, 2021. All the staff there "seemed" nice and professional. A couple of days went by, my son comes home telling us kids have been pushing him and taking his toys. My husband calls the teacher (Sweeny) to confirm. she mentioned she didn't see anything in that matter but that she will keep a closer eye on my son. We greatly appreciated it. A few days pass, we get a call from the teacher saying him and this little girl was playing. Hes a playful kid. Him and his cousin (Which is a girl play together all the time.) Again, we get a call from the principal (Dorsey) stating my son has been putting his hands on the little girl and he was switched to a different classroom. We asked if he was doing anything nasty or inappropriate. The principal stated that it wasn't inappropriate but the little girl felt uncomfortable. ok, that's fine. They said he apologized. When we called The school, we addressed The situation about my son getting bullied, they didn't do anything about it. But when my son does something innocently and is playing like a normal kid would, you switch my kid to a different class? I was offended on that. Why not switch the kids that pushed my son around? My son gets dropped off at school today and before I let him go, he says hello to the principal. All she did was waved and gave a sarcastic smile. I felt some type of way about that but I thought it was just me. My son walks on campus and we walk away. I couldn't help but notice how she was engaging with the other parents and students after they greeted her. I walked up to her and asked I can speak to her. Before I was even able to finish that phrase, she cut me off by saying to email her. Parents walk up to her asking her questions and she answered them no problem. I couldn't make a scene at the school so I walked away and went home. I'm not the type to pull a race card but my son is black and the principal is black. The whole school is practically the opposite. She is setting my son up for failure. We are switching schools ASAP.

    We recently enrolled our two sons at St. Frances de Sales Catholic School for the '23-'24 school…read moreyear, we moved to the area and came from another Catholic School, and we couldn't be more pleased with our decision. From the onset, we received a very warm welcome from both staff and parents. One of the standout features of the school is the small class sizes. This allows for personalized attention and fosters a supportive learning environment where each child can thrive and receive the attention they deserve. The dedication and care exhibited by the teachers and administrators is readily seen. Beyond academics, the school has fun events and activities for the students, both field trips and seasonal activities, creating opportunities for both learning and community. My boys always look forward to the activities. A Catholic, faith based education that aligns with our family morals and values was a must, and we see the school's emphasis on providing this kind of education, which is so comforting considering the current state of affairs. I'm very pleased with our decision to send our boys to St. Frances de Sales Catholic School and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any parents seeking a close-knit, nurturing, faith based, and academic environment for their children.

    This school is a complete disappointment. My daughter was bullied repeatedly and kept quiet because…read moreshe knew the teachers and principal wouldn't do anything and she was right. When I finally brought it up, they tried to blame her instead of the kids who were actually bullying her. The 6th-8th grade teachers clearly play favorites and have no clue how to handle bullying. After reporting it, the bullying got worse they called her a snitch. She was even made fun of inside the church. How is this allowed in a Catholic school? Absolutely shameful. Worst place to send your child.
