I have a lot to say about this school as an ex student. First of all, the teachers. Some were favoring students, yelling, screaming, giving unfair punishments, etc. When I was eating lunch one of my friends was punished for something he never did. Me and some others told the teacher he did nothing yet he was still punished. There was one teacher that would just scream at kids from across the room, and one that called someone bigmouth. The recent renovation that happened got rid of half the playground and field and replaced it with a parking lot. The lunches were awful, having weird gray meat and constantly running out. Ill give the school credit though, there were nice teachers that were helpful. And, I loved the performing arts programs, specifically orchestra. But, overall I wouldnt say I enjoyed my experience at this school.
Side note: my grammar is probably not the best as I am young, but I hope this gets the message through.

The school was horrible. I got bullied the teachers said just ignore it and the school sucks. We didnt learn anything. Kids were out of control and the teachers were just on their phones after that I transferred to Sherwood. It was a much better school. The district itself is great, but that school was horrible. Please take this review seriously

Ravina has been a fantastic experience for our child. Teachers do a great job connecting with the kids as well as the parents. Communication is excellent between teachers and students, teachers and parents, as well as principal and parents. Students seem focused, energetic and disciplined. School spirit is quite strong as well. PTO is actively involved and strongly dedicated to providing additional programming and enhancements. Ravinia enjoys a strong sense of community and neighborhood pride. Student body is small enough that kids know one another even when they aren't in the same grade. So far we've had a wonderful experience as parents and our child is thriving in this excellent learning environment.

Ravinia is an incredible school all around. Phenomenal teachers, updated school programming and resources, extraordinary music teacher (spectacular school wide performances), creative and engaging art teacher (projects are proudly displayed all over our house), super fun gym teachers, fantastic support staff and excellent leadership. The students and parents are friendly too. There is a nice mix of working parents and stay at home parents that share the load of parental responsibilities. Bullying is nipped in the bud and students learn respect from day 1. Children with special needs are mainstreamed well. They also have a volunteer "no tree nut/peanut" policy and do a good job of minimizing risk without singling out the food allergy kids. Two out of my 3 very high spirited boys attend there.The oldest is in 4th grade and has attended since Kindergarten. He has been participating in the advanced/gifted reading and math for the last few years and has done well. My second son is just starting Kindergarten. Recently, I was called in to a meeting to help him get off to the right start. A few adjustments and in one week he is doing great! No complaints at all. Thanks Ravinia School!

Ravinia is a wonderful school. The principal is extremely accessible as are all of the staff. The parents are quite invovled and create a wide variety of extra programming for the school. The addition of a full time music teacher has been fabulous as well as the 5 days of gym. I am proud to be a Ravinia school Parent.
