Our Students
All children deserve the best possible education. The five elementary schools and one middle school in East Palo Alto and eastern Menlo Park that comprise the Ravenswood City School District are filled with students with big dreams. Yet they also face underfunding, low teacher salaries and retention, and overwhelming socioeconomic challenges. These issues lead to school performance that lags that of neighboring school districts, resulting in an uneven playing field at the start of high school and a community that under-leverages some of our best talent.
Our approach to these challenges is to work with the visionary and talented leaders in Ravenswood and create a community where teachers are supported, students are inspired, and the trajectory of lives is changed forever.
Hundreds of dedicated volunteers, strong community and corporate partners, and a growing body of individuals and family donors are committed to the idea that together, we can achieve excellence in ALL our local schools.

End of Year Reflections from RavenswoodPublished June 16, 2020
One thing I’ve always loved about the cyclical nature of the school year is how June offers us time to reflect. And wow, do we have a lot to reflect on from the 19-20 school year. From creating and adopting a new strategic plan to making the challenging decision to merge campuses, from bringing on revered long-time Ravenswood educator Gina Sudaria as permanent superintendent to making the unprecedented decision to close schools and shelter in place, the Ravenswood and REF community have experienced a lot. As this tumultuous year comes to an end, I believe Ravenswood is the best positioned it has ever been to make transformational change and give our students the high quality education they deserve.
