Demographics Strengths
Our strengths at Ridgecrest are:
- We are increased the number of student identified as Gifted and Talented.
- The number of students identified as needing Special Education has increased which is means our identification process of finding our students who need support for their disabilities is effective.
- The number of students enrolled is on an upward trend since the 2021-2022 school year. This year, we grow 100 students. We are excited for the enrollment growth.

Student Achievement
Student Achievement Summary
Ridgecrest Elementary School implements a rigorous curriculum that is aligned to state standards and continuously revised to produce and prepare all students towards T-2-4 district goals. Students will master rigorous academic standards to ensure college and career readiness. We believe campus administrators and teachers are members of the campus’ Professional Learning Committees (PLC). PLC in SBISD is an ongoing collaborative team process used to establish a school-wide culture that develops teacher leadership explicitly focused on building and sustaining school improvement efforts.
A top priority in SBISD is literacy. Students receive the opportunity and skill set to experience meaningful literacy experiences that are rigorous and engaging. With their peers, students in SBISD listen, speak, read and write through the content areas with a commitment that they will become lifelong readers and writers. SBISD is driven by standards, focused on strategies, differentiated, and guided by student data. Numeracy is also a top priority in SBISD. Our goal is to provide academic experiences that build confident and creative mathematical thinkers. Students identified for special education (SPED) services or as Emergent Bilingual/English Learner (EB/EL) are also a district focus.
