Twin Ridge Elementary School

The school itself is not suited to handle creativity or intelligence that is beyond their standard.when a student knows more in a study, the student would not be prohibited from using said information, the same can be said if the student knows a more advance way of doing things.Even when the school trys to educate the student, it fails amazingly, with the majority of students forgeting whatever they may have learned.Personly in my opinion this school was herendous in how it preformed and it needs serious work.

The teachers and principal are accessible and nice. Community supports the school. I have been very happy with the school.

Very nice looking school. The teachers for my 1st grader were outstanding. Especially Ms. O'Keefe, one of the best teachers I've ever encountered. 1st graders confidence is so high thanks to her help. Thank you! 4th grade teachers are overwhelmed with class size. My son was bullied by 4 kids for a month. Repeated emails to teachers and nothing was done. Finally had to talk to school Psychologist to get some action. These 4 kids have a reputation at OTHER schools for being bullies at TRES. Unacceptable that the teachers and parents let this go on. Parents could care less if there kids are bullies. Nothing was done to the kids, just some stern warnings. I do not believe that the school even talked to the bullies parents. I would be horrified and disappointed if my kids were bullies. My kids would be apologizing to the bullied kid, kids in the classroom and to parents. I guess it speaks to how the parents are in this community. Teachers good to great. Administrators good, but slow on the bullying stuff. Parents involved but don't care if there kids are bullies...as long as their kids on top in something it's OK.

I just read the reviews and agree with much of what was said, especially about the previous principal. This year, Twin Ridge has a new principal who is very accessible, considerate, listens to parental concerns, and takes time to address concerns and follow up with parents with updates. I was concerned with the ever growing number of children in my son's Kindergarten class last fall. She listened to my concerns and let me know that she was working to get help in each of the classrooms. Several weeks later, I received a call from the principle informing me that a full time paraeducator allocation was approved to help with the Kindergarten classes. She also stated she was going to hire 2 paraeducators so that each class could have 2 hours of support during the morning when teachers stated they needed more support and that she would consider to monitor the ratios. The atmosphere is much more child friendly and the staff members appear happier. There are also more fun and engaging afternoon and evening activities for the kids and families and the principal is taking an active roll (participating in the staff basketball game, dressing in themes for school spirit days, etc.).
