I have a son who is mildly on the spectrum. The team has helped him progress tremendously. They know my son equally as well as we the parents do. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for their work are terrific. Frequent meeting and detailed reporting has helped gauge his progress. Kudos to Jacalyn's team.

Many opportunities to get involved and make friends here. Would not recommend this school though due to ineffective leadership and many checked out teachers.

We recently finished our second year at this school (2nd and 3rd grade). We came from a private British school abroad that followed an IB curriculum and we are very happy with Ox Ridge. Our experience with the teachers and administrators has been fantastic and our daughter is thriving in school. We are very happy with the school, the extra-curricular activities, the level of parent involvement, the volunteering opportunities. The only thing that we would love to see is an update to the facilities.

Excellent school with teachers and administration who are committed to making a child's education a high impact experience. Class sizes are small with an excellent curriculum. Plenty of extra-curricular events to keep children engaged with other students and continue the learning experience outside the classroom. An excellent school overall with the only critique being to make some of the grounds more sports oriented (ie soccer nets).

What an amazing school...having attended private school my entire life I will say--it is a private school without the tuition! The principal has been there 20 plus years and know all the kids names. The class sizes are small...the teachers are involved and there are moms in the classroom daily. My 3rd grader's teacher typed an entire page--single spaced--off comments for the first trimester report card. The lunches are healthy and low fat--even a boars head sandwich bar for 4th and 5th graders. And my daughter's peer group is amazing.
