Racist School, (NOT GOOD FOR MINORITIES OF COLOR) requested my nephew leave the school when a white student bullied another student and they blamed my nephew a young black boy. The boy being bullied pointed to the white boy that bullied him, but they blamed my nephew. And then requested my sister pull her other black sons out of the school just because.

Ribet Academy is not a very good school when it comes to everything it has to offer. Besides a handful of good teachers, most of the teachers rely on the book too much and waste a lot of crucial class time trying to manage the students. There science program is very good with very strong teachers willing to go the extra mile if you are interested in the field. However, Ribet is not a very challenging place when it comes to the academic level. The teachers rarely give out homework and do a really poor job explaining some of the lessons. This is a place to send a student if they want an easy A.

I really regret sending my child here. They are really behind in their academics. Ribet does not provide all of the programs they claim to. There is little to no enrichment for students. The Teacher turn over rate is extremely high. They have been consistently losing a lot of families.

This school is getting progressively worse every year. At first, it was decent, there some good teachers, but many of them are inexperienced. There are some really good teachers at this school but every school year they fire the teachers in order to replace them with cheaper alternatives, and like I...
