This is not a good school. The Children transferred from Cedar ridge ( another school that is below average) and they are not being taught anything. It’s nearly November and the kids in each grade have learned nothing. They don’t make the kids work hard at all

This sis such an amazing school. All the staff really cares about the well being of the kids. Principal Edwards and Asst. Principal Peterson are the best. They go way beyond the call of duty. They really care about there students. They do everything they can to make sure that school runs well.

We took our kids out of private school and put them into Pepper Ridge, and it was a great move for our family. The teachers are excellent and really care about the kids. The principal works very hard to make it a great school. Her door or email are always open to discuss your child. My kids do complain about the food, but with national regulations using whole grain, they are eating healthy but don't like the taste. I love the schools diversity with different ethnic groups, medical needs, cultural backgrounds. Our country is getting more and more diverse and our kids need to know how to respect other people who are not like them. They also have a special team of adults called Promise Council who come in to talk to the 5th graders about going to college and being successful. This has really helped my 5th grader start thinking now about making good grades, creating goals and working hard towards these goals. Overall, I give this school an A+!
