Fort Riley Elementary School

Posted: October 1, 2025

My children have been at FRE for two years now and overall we are very happy. The teachers have been kind and patient with my kids. Everyone knows their names and helps them feel comfortable at school. Academically, my kids are thriving. I really this school has been the best they have attended.

Great staff! My children love going to school each day. Anytime we have had an issue, the school staff have been receptive and helped work through things.

FRE is a great school the staff really care about your kids. FRE being a military school gets kids from all over the U.S. with varying ethnic/scholastic backgrounds and does a great job of getting kids to meet or surpass National standards. We have been really pleased with the progression our kids have shown. A good school really makes a difference. I didn't give it five stars because the school is dated and small but that will change next year as they are currently building a new school.

Fort Riley Elementary (FRE) School is a fantastic school! As a military parent whose children have attended elementary schools in five states, I am so grateful for the quality teachers, principal and staff. They truly care about their students and do all that they can to make them successful. Fort Riley Elementary also has a high parent participation/volunteer rate and is welcoming to any parents that wish to be part of their student(s)' education. FRE, like all schools on military installations, has a large number of students transferring in and out each year. The teachers and staff do a tremendous job of welcoming new families and making sure each student is appropriately placed and receives all educational services needed. As the school works to adopt the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards (Common Core), there will be a mismatch in the standardized test scores and what the students are actually learning. Don't let a change in test scores worry you! This is a high achieving, highly motivated school. We love FRE!!

This is the worst school we have ever attended. I truly believe this school "waits" you out until you PCS. If you have a "normal" child, you might be okay despite the lack of space and overcrowding. If you have a child who needs any special attention, your child will not thrive here. They say they will help...they will meet with you...but nothing will change.

I have an ADHD child who is regressing and struggling at this school. Class sizes are too large and there seems to be no order. Kids are free to yell to each other at lunch and through the hallways. There also seems to be no control in the classroom either. I didnt want us to PCS anytime soon but due to this I am praying for one!

School is overcrowded. Class room size is too large. Kindergarten does not have art class nor a graduation. The school is not aesthetically pleasing nor does it have many of the resources a current day elementary should have. On the plus side, some great teachers making due with what they have...

Great School, and learning is taking place. Just wish there was more enthusiasm from teachers and staff. When teachers are excited about teaching , students will be excited to learn. Student testing seems to be on everyones minds and the test scores.. Teach to teach , not to take a test. :/ Improvements : Painting the inside of the building to brighten it up (Sorta Gloomy in there) As soon as you walk in, you will understand what I mean. Remodeling the bathrooms, Fence around entire school, Better parking, Possibly bigger gym as well. Overall needs some remodeling and renovations , an old building.

My son has ADD and as soon as we enrolled in FRE i was unimpressed the amount of unprofessionalism was over whelming. From my point of view i have seen a teacher yeling at a child and throughing a lunch on the table. That behavior is not somthing i would exspect from a educator maybe a 4 year old child. My son will be attending a private school next year where he is free to feel safe and learn
