What school district is Ruskin Elementary School part of?
There has been high teacher turnover in the past few years. Parents have concerns about the adminstration quality and responsiveness.
The Berryessa Union School District (BUSD) separates siblings into two different elementary schools and considers this is an acceptable situation despite the parents' preference to keep their children together.
Starting the 2014-15 school year, in the BUSD you are no longer guaranteed enrollment in your designated school of attendance. That means if you buy a house in the Ruskin area, your children may have to attend a different school in the district. Then, if space becomes available in later years, your child will be invited back. In past years, you were guaranteed enrollment back to your designated school. This is no longer the case. I would think that the homeowners and potential homebuyers in the area would be concerned with this policy change.
