My children loved this school so much they cried on the last day of class because they did not want the school year to be over. The teachers are very kind well-trained and make every child still feel special, they serve nutritious meals with lots of choices, have adapted areas within the school for children with special needs

We have three children who all went to Lava Ridge and we could not imagine a better school. Every teacher our kids have had has been A+ in quality and care for students. I am not sure how they manage to have so many good teachers in one school. And the principle and vice principal are two incredible men who serve and love the teachers and students both. I have had so many great conversations with them and my kids can't stop saying how much they love them. It would be hard to imagine a better school for our kids

Earned Oregon's top rating, "Outstanding" on the 2009-10 Oregon Department of Education State School Report Card. Only 37% of Oregon schools earned the same rating statewide.

TOP NOTCH TEACHERS & ADMINISTRATION guide encourage our children to succeed at Lava Ridge. We hand-selected this school for our child. Teachers and principals take a personal interest in the students as they learn and advance to exceed their benchmarks after each testing. They have a team of seasoned professionals who can see that not all children learn the same way, they are innovative and bring different elements into the classroom to bring out the creativity and unlock any roadblocks to learning.

Wonderful school! Caring staff that does a lot with the little budget they have. We have enjoyed our 5 years here. Our child s teachers have become friends who take accountability in what they are doing. This is a feeling shared by the entire staff. We will miss Lava Ridge and are very appreciative of the experiences we have shared with both students and faculty. Thank you.

This school is great! The staff are knowledgeable and fair. They set curriculum to accommodate the kids learning levels. I love that they challenge those that may be a bit further ahead so as to avoid disruptions to those that may need a bit more help. The principle & vice principle stand outside everyday while kids are picked up. Lava Ridge Elementary staff cares about their students and families. We love that.
