Ring Factory Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-08-26 “My child has been a student at Ring Factory for 4 years now. The teachers have been wonderful, dedicated professionals. There are no dicipline problems. The kids are taught in a clean, safe, friendly building. My child enjoys school. I feel very lucky to have this school. The new principal has been in place for 2 years. He is fine. He seems dedicated, is a good speaker, and seems to enjoy the students.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2009-03-09 “I had heard many good things about this school, but I have been disappointed so far. It is clean and well-maintained, and the kids are safe. The parents seem committed and involved. However, I have not been impressed by the administration or the lower school's faculty. (I don't know much about the 3-5 faculty.) The principal has changed since the 2006 5-star review. I have observed long-term subs in about half of the lower school's classrooms this year. In fact, the only enthusiastic faculty member I've encountered turned out to be a long-term sub. The curriculum is based on 'whole language' and 'everyday math,' both of which are widely discredited. (Look at the discussions on them, right here at 'great schools'!) I know several RFE parents who have chosen or are considering private schools or even homeschooling because of these issues.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-08-30 “My daughter attended this school, K-5. She had outstanding teachers. I have a few issues to keep in mind. Once a child is placed in a certain class level, they remain in that level through 5th grade. Kids need to be tested and challenged to move up to higher levels. Also, the same students were always selected for various awards & activities. Especially the special choir. Children who don't qualify for the Fox Festival Choir feel bad and left out.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-12-14 “I am sad to have to leave this school. We are moving to Arkansas and fear that any school would fail in comparison to Ring Factory. The staff is outstanding. Mr. Cooper is a plugged in principal who cares. Ring Factory is what every school should strive to be like.”
