Richmond Elementary School

"I am beyond disappointed in this school. My daughter is a 5 year old kindergarten student. Her teacher is okay and I understand her frustration having to deal with so many little people. But my issue is the lunch madness, my child comes home everyday with a story about the lunch room and MS.Wilson ! Friday I was called by the nurse stating that my child had fallen and hurt her face. When I went to pick her up early she had a hole the size of my pinky tip that wouldn’t stop bleeding. My daughter told me that she was on her way to be seated but all the kids were playing so she was pushed and smacked her face on the edge of the bench. The way her face looked when I picked her up and her school shirt full of blood I knew when it first happen she had to be a bloody mess. She said that the lunch lady told her to go to the bathroom and spit the blood out then head up to the nurse. I’m blown away by this and I just can’t understand how you can see a child so helpless and not call for help. Why would anyone ever send a child that just busted her face wide open up the stairs along. She could have gotten dizzy and passed out, etc. now my daughter is scared for life and she’s scared all she talks about is the bloody mess she has to face in school and how she was so scared because no one wanted to help her but the little students. I will be taking her out of here and taking action on this situation !"

"Okay, first off let me just say that the Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Ryan is AMAZING! When I say that my child learned how to read sentences within the first month of school I am not exaggerating she is amazing!! Now he is in the 1st grade with new teachers.. My son has fallen so far behind and it's sad how academically he fell behind! I don't know what the reason is! Another thing! My son has had WAY too many bathroom accident's due to the system at this school. My son has told me many times that he is CONTINUOUSLY being rushed to use the bathroom, being watched by the other kid's while using the bathroom and 9/10 times he feels embarrassed because they have a "buddy system" and he must be taken to the bathroom by another student. I understand how the "buddy system" works and they are trying to avoid hazards and all that but if my child is complaining that he is being rushed to use the bathroom and he is being violated and embarrassed this is a HUGE problem! my son is 6 and he DOES NOT have these problems anywhere else, not home, at his after care program or even at family houses etc .. Then there is a bigger issue. I have had 4 phone calls in the last 4 days stating that my son had an accident. Something is VERY wrong here. This school is terrible at speaking with parent's they are very combative and defensive when you ask to speak to someone about a problem! The office staff is terrible and very dismissive. I love the kindergarten teacher and her teaching methods are great and she was a joy! but the main building's office "way of fixing problems" is disgusting!! I have never had some many problems with a school before in my life!!!"

"This school is a joke just like the rest of the schools in the public system. The school is poorly run and poorly managed. Kids are always reaching out for help receive none then when the kids lose interest and finally start to act out that's when the school wants to take action. Security is virtually non existant you can walk in-and-out whenever you want without anybody asking you anything. But at the end I blame myself it's all about accountability I should be able to put my kids in a better district and not have to solely rely on the public school system."

"My son goes here great school Mrs Ryan is a great teacher"

"The only reason I have fun third is because of my 3 best friends Dominik ,semis and Eddie and my teacher Ms. Bron"
