I have 2 kids attending this school. I have no complaints as far as there academic goes. The teachers here gave my kids a excellent foundation. Without building a foundation for your child they would be lost. My kids are continuing to thrive in every aspect. Teachers always say that education starts at home but I believe with a push from the right mentor our kids will succeed.

We LOVE Ruskin. Kindergarten was a wonderful experience for our son. There are numerous activities and events and this school works really hard to supplement the ever decreasing budget to maintain the diverse and enriching atmosphere. The Principal and PTA president are AMAZING.

Ruskin has a diverse group of talented teachers. They treat each student as if they were their own child and children are excited about going to school. This allows for a good relationship between the teacher and the student. This is a very big blessing for me as a parent.

Ruskin is a great school overall. The academically scores are very good but more important is that it has a well balanced curriculum. Children receive hands-on science at the science lab diversified math groups a huge library music instruction etc. The environment at Ruskin is community oriented. The teachers are exceptional. The Principal and administrative staff are outstanding. Ruskin is a California Distinguished School for good reason.

Great school. My son has made a few good friends at Ruskin. Both my husband and myself are impressed by how much he has grown academically in just one year at Ruskin. However we are a bit disappointed that this year he has been put into a 'combo' class. He said that the homework is 'too easy.' We are worried that he won't be able to gain as much this year.
