Clarence Ruth Elementary School

Welcome to Clarence Ruth Elementary, a place where students’ cultures, languages, and identities are celebrated every day.

At Clarence Ruth, we take pride in serving a vibrant and diverse school community. With 87% of our students identifying as Latino and nearly one-third learning English as a new language, we are committed to honoring our students' heritage while equipping them with the academic and social skills they need to thrive in a global society.

Our staff works in close partnership with families to create a warm, inclusive environment where all students feel seen, supported, and empowered.

In alignment with our district motto, we believe that Trusting Relationships + High Expectations = Every Student Achieves—a guiding principle that shapes every decision we make.

We offer a rich curriculum that supports language development, cultural pride, and rigorous academics—because we know that when students are connected to who they are, they are more confident in who they can become.

As principal, I am honored to walk alongside our families and staff in building a future of promise for every child. We invite you to explore our school, engage with our programs, and join us in this journey of growth, learning, and community.

With appreciation,
Lynette Martin
Principal
