"The principal and lower-grade teachers are very enegetic and dedicated. The school has a great learning environment for younger kids (that's what I have). I predict that we are going to see an upswing in the test scores over the next several years, but the important thing is the high quality of education that the kids are receiving."

"My kids are each in their fourth year at Ravenswood. For our family, it is exactly what we were looking for in a school: challenging academics with differentiated instruction, fantastic teachers, administration with a vision and the skills to deliver it, and a strong, diverse, close-knit school community. To really appreciate it, you need to dig deeper than test scores and come for a visit."

"I am so happy with Ravenswood. The principal has a really good understanding of curriculum and what professional development the teachers need in order to improve the school. The teachers, overall, are really excited about the professional development, too, which is a great sign. The staff is really dedicated, from PreK on up to 8th grade. Teachers really come out to support the school at events and work really hard to create a community."

"I feel lucky to be part of a school where the teachers and parents know all the kids and care for each other as a community. After a fire displaced 2 families this week, a call went out for donations. By the next afternoon both families had beds, other furniture, dishes, clothing, TVs and even toys, which police donated. I was not surprised, but reminded about the compassion that adds to a great learning environment."

"The tuition based pre-K is amazing - probably the best kept secret on the northside. The teaching staff is extremely energized and dedicated to the students and parents. We have seen our four year old excel in just a few short months in writing, reading, and having a better grasp of her emotions."
