About Us

Ridgetop Elementary School sits at the corner of 5lst and Caswell, a small community school that was established as a county school in 1917. It became a member of the city school system in 1924, when the Highlands Area was annexed by the city. Ridgetop Elementary School has been a daytime home for many of its students since that time, where students are physically and mentally cared for by the principal, staff , students, parents and community.

In an effort to continue their professional growth in their teaching areas, teachers at Ridgetop continuously attend staff development and courses that are made available to them. Teachers’ longevity at Ridgetop gives the students consistency in their learning styles.
