Welcome to Ridgeview Elementary! Home of the Cougars!

I am Courtney Schumacher, the proud principal of Ridgeview Elementary. This school has a prestige reputation as the #1 Title 1 school in Clay County. In addition, we are recognized by the FLDOE as a School of Excellence because of our academic success. Teachers and staff come to school excited and prepared to support students in reaching their fullest potential. In addition to high expectations academically we have high expectations for behavior as well. Here at RVE we show (P.R.I.D.E.)Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dependability, and Empathy. This is represented throughout our campus as teachers and students spend time each week discussing these character traits and look for opportunities to demonstrate them around campus.

Ridgeview Elementary serves approximately 600 students. We have five resources where students attend one each day; Art, Media, Music, P.E., and Technology. In addition, we have extracurricular activities such as Safety Patrol, Book Club, Math Club, Track Club and more! Ridgeview Elementary is a great place to learn and grow!

It is an honor and a privilege to be the Assistant Principal at Ridgeview Elementary. Ridgeview Elementary is a small, but mighty school where teachers and students have high expectations for themselves and each other. Success is the norm. RVE has been an A school for many years. RVE is also a Florida School of Distinction and has been recognized as a  PBIS ( Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support) school of excellence. 

Our mission at Ridgeview Elementary  is to work collaboratively with all students to provide a school experience that is motivating, challenging, and rewarding for all children.  We increase student achievement by providing students with learning opportunities that are rigorous, relevant and transcend beyond the boundaries of the school.  We ensure a working and learning environment built upon fidelity, integrity, and respect.  Through these values, we maximize student potential and promote individual responsibility.

Ridgeview Elementary School is a school which exists to prepare lifelong learners for success in a global and competitive workplace and in acquiring applicable life skills.
