Ridgeland Elementary School

What Ridgeland Elementary School does

Ridgeland Elementary School is a public K-5 elementary school located at 250 Jaguar Trail in Ridgeland, South Carolina, operating as part of the Jasper County School District (JCSD). The school serves pre-kindergarten through 5th grade students and their families residing in the JCSD catchment area, with Principal Renata Johnson-Green leading the school and Assistant Principal Doretha Brown-Williams joining in June 2025.

Instructional delivery is in-person at the Ridgeland campus, supplemented by an integrated stack of third-party educational technology platforms: PowerSchool for parent portal, enrollment, and grade management; iReady for diagnostic assessment in reading (K-2) and mathematics (K-5); ALEKS and Ready Mathematics for adaptive math instruction (3-5 and K-5 respectively); Achieve3000 for reading instruction (3-5); Imagine Learning for ESOL programs; Acellus for science and social studies; and Microsoft Teams for direct virtual instruction. Communication with families runs through an Edlio-powered website, JCSD newsletters in English and Spanish, Peachjar digital flyers, Facebook, and Twitter.

As a government state entity, Ridgeland Elementary does not charge tuition; nominal student technology fees ($35-$37 per student) are the only direct charges, with community donors, alumni, and grant providers (e.g., Palmetto Electric Bright Ideas grants, Rotary Club of Okatie) regularly offsetting these costs. Funding flows from federal, state, and local government appropriations administered through the JCSD, with Dr. Rechel M. Anderson serving as Superintendent. The school's "go-to-market" is enrollment-based, executed through PowerSchool online registration and in-person registration events held across the Hardeeville and Ridgeland campuses.

Direct peers

• Hardeeville Elementary School: Sibling public elementary school within the same Jasper County School District, serving Pre-K through 5th grade in Hardeeville. Operates under the same district administration, funding model, and ed-tech standards as Ridgeland Elementary.
• Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence: Secondary school in the same Jasper County School District and Ridgeland community. While a different grade band, it shares the same district funding, leadership, and family demographic base, providing a natural feeder comparison.
• Hardeeville Junior & Senior High School: Middle and high school within Jasper County School District, sharing the same operational governance, fiscal structure, and student feeder pipeline as Ridgeland Elementary.
• Jasper County Alternative Program: Alternative education site within Jasper County School District serving non-traditional learners. Comparable public-district operating model, though with a distinctly different student profile.

Regional players

• Beaufort-Jasper Academy for Career Excellence: Regional career and technical education provider serving Beaufort and Jasper Counties. Operates in the same geographic service area with shared students and partners, but focused on career-technical secondary instruction rather than K-5 academics.
• Public Schools of Robeson County (elementary campuses): Rural North Carolina public school district similar in scale and demographic profile to Jasper County School District, providing a defensible comparator for small-district rural elementary operations in the Southeast.

Broad incumbents

• KIPP Public Schools (KIPP Foundation): Large national charter school network serving predominantly low-income K-12 students, with comparable Title I-equivalent populations and a focus on academic outcomes for underserved communities—relevant as a scaled operator of public-funded elementary education.

Others

• PowerSchool Group: Student information system vendor whose platform RES uses for parent portal, grade management, and online registration. Relevant as the core infrastructure peer to RES's daily family-facing operations, not a competitor but a key ecosystem dependency.
• Curriculum Associates (iReady): EdTech provider of the iReady diagnostic and personalized learning platform that RES uses for K-5 math and K-2 reading. A primary instructional dependency rather than a competitor, but materially comparable in the K-5 instructional services space.
• Imagine Learning: Provider of the Imagine Learning ESOL platform that RES uses for English-language-learner instruction. While a vendor rather than a peer school, it operates in the same K-12 English-learner instructional category relevant to RES's differentiated learner population.
