Park Ridge Elementary School

We have three children currently enrolled here and our kids are thriving.

Very disappointed in Park Ridge Elementary. We have since moved to a new school district, and our children are behind academically and working to catch up. The students frequently have "indoor recess" and do not get adequate opportunities for physical activity. Students are ignored by lunchroom staff, who are looking at their phones. I believe most of the teachers are sufficiently trained and well intentioned, but my interactions with the principle were defensive and unproductive. Communication from teachers and administrators was lacking. Important school policies were changed without informing parents. I believe homework was appropriate and they made good use of educational apps in math and reading.If your child is quiet and well behaved, they will most likely be ignored. If your child is deemed to have a "behavior issue", the school has no plan for consistent and appropriate discipline. These were my experiences. I sincerely hope that things change for the better. If you have a choice, I would not recommend sending your children to Park Ridge.

Our oldest has gone from Kindergarten through Second Grade here, Wonderful school. Very safe and gives the children perfect opportunities to excel.

We love the school,especially third grade teacher Mrs.master is wonderful teacher to both of my girls.
