[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ritchie Park is a good, solid school.  We have been a part of the community for several years and our child has thrived.  Ms. Long is definitely a "buy the book" type of principal, which some parents like and some do not.  At the end of the day, I do think that the principal has the children's best interest at heart which is all the parents can ask for.  I don't think that she is one to get caught up in the politics of having to deal with helipcopter parents who can just be down right annoying (every school has them.)

The teachers and staff at RPES are welcoming and warm and want what is best for the kids, and we have found that each of our child's teachers has taken a vested inter4est in our child and really pushed them where they needed to be pushed.  I never expected having a teacher call me on his/her personal time during the school year to just chat about my child and this has happened on a regular during our time here. If people are looking to leave RPES because of the principal, I can only look at that as a better thing for my child -- it should help with overcrowding (which is a problem in a lot of schools throughout MoCo.)

At the end of the day no school is perfect but I think that annoying, overbearing  parents can be a lot of the problem. RPES is a good school and the surrounding neighborhoods are very nice with (for the most part) welcoming, down to earth families.  [/quote]

PTA Groupie drinking the Kool-aid .... every school has them.  They kiss up to the admin in hopes for favorable treatment for their child.[/quote]
