Aitkin Public Schools, ISD #0001
Rippleside Elementary
Allan Albertson, principal
“Rippleside Elementary School is a very special place.  As a learning community our dedicated teaching staff and support staff work collectively to ensure that every child has every opportunity to realize their full potential. The Minnesota School of Excellence validation process was a very valuable experience, as the process required our school community to revisit where we have been, recent change and plan for the future.”
