Ridgeview Middle School Reviews

I love this school and its academics

I think that the principal and some of the teachers is a little bit to harsh on the students at this school, but over all this school is a very good school.

What should and could be an excellent school is awful due to the current principal (new in 2007). Academics and student morale are starting to suffer. The administration demonstrates an inability to manage a large school, focus on priorities, and show proper respect for students and parents. Teaching staff is outstanding overall, and having to compensate for too many shortcomings.

Well, there is a lot of bullying that goes on 'under the desk' at our school, but that only happens to people who look for a fight. The technology used at this school is primitive - if our school district were to migrate to a new operating system (ours is currently Windows XP), I would suggest the free Ubuntu operating system. The mathematics taught at this school is also fairly easy. I got thru my first two years here without difficulty. I was replaced into the TAG Geometry class in my last year, and it was slightly challenging. The standards at this school are pretty average. I wouldn't be surprised if this school became beat-down and poor several years from now.

My son is a 6th grader and loves the school. He is very involved in activities and has lots of good friends. Academically, he is pretty strong. I'm not sure about the principal and some staff...have had some concerns so far. Most teachers seem to be very good and care for the kids. Very nice facility.

excellent district and a very good school. has been principal turn over- teachers committed, tutorials always available. counselors also. if parents get more involved there would be less nonsense during school day. same issues you'd find at any school (we've been in private) and far better levels of academics offered!

A good school, the current principal is not as good as those in the past. The teachers are good, but the extracurriculars could be more fun and more availible.

Not impressed! This school needs leadership. High teacher turnover every year. Lots of discipline problems.

currently have a 6th grader at the school- we are new to texas. the school is new and very nice. the staff is nice and helpful and i dont have any complaints about any of his teachers, they are nice and involved and seem happy to be doing their job. the teachers go above and beyond offering morning tutoring and are willing to stay after for extra help too- i am very satisfied. my son loves it too

One child of mine attended this school for 3 years, the second is beginning this year. There has consistently been a problem with administration here, high turnover of principals and faculty. Big problems with some math teachers. One language is offered and if you want to get a language credit towards high school, it had better be in Spanish! Some discipline problems but an effort is made to improve these areas. It's definitely a work in progress. It looks like portable buildings are being added so classes will be crowded.

My daughter attended 7th grade. I do think that this is a good school. The teachers care and so does the principal. The principal is wonderful and doing a great job. There are plenty of extracurricular activities for the student. This is a great school for any parent to place there child in.

Not that many options in extracurricular activities, should require all students to be in an athletic program or P.E

My child is very happy at the school. He especially enjoys PE and band. The principal seems good.

Ridgeview has been a positive experience for my child. The teachers are interested in helping students achieve, generally. Only 1 language option was offered to 7th graders this year which was a disappointment.

School has just started its 3rd year of operation-keep that in mind when reviewing stats where history is not available. Students have plenty of access to computers and even wireless laptops thanks to the proximity of Dell Systems in Round Rock. Many many clubs to choose from also.
