Maple Ridge El School

Hailey loves her teacher ms.shirley and is challenged. she is growing and learning so much already this year

Very little communication between teachers and parent who doesn't have primary custody. Worse for supposedly small class size when I asked 2 different teachers for information about my 2 children neither one was even sure who they were or how they were doing. Then I only got generic answers when they realized(or pretended to) who my kids were. Makes me wonder what they are paying attention to if it's not the class with teacher student ratios below 30:1

Maple Ridge does an outstanding job of educating the K-2 students that call its halls and classrooms home. What makes it especially unique in the world of today is the geniune and caring focus that I see firsthand that the faculty and staff have towards the students. They are passionate and dedicated in what they teach and constantly give feedback and encouragement at every turn. Getting young minds off on the right path is a huge responsilbility and one that they take most seriously. Personally, I like to see how well they work together and the positive outlook they exude at all times! I've witnessed instances of extra effort and extreme patience far beyond the norm. It sounds kinda corny, but they've managed to keep a laid back, small town charm - like Mayberry of old, while still focusing on skills our youngsters will be needing to survive and prosper for the 21st century. I believe a visit there in-person and you'll be sold on Maple Ridge as an ideal school for any youngter....
