We have had an excellent experience in our three years at Coyote Ridge. We toured many public, charter, and private schools before enrolling our kids at CRES, and most of them would have been fine, but Coyote Ridge has been OUTSTANDING! Thanks so much to the teachers, Mr Davis the principal, and all the support and admin staff. They are so welcoming and do such an amazing job challenging the students in ways that make them EXCITED about learning.

I have had three children at Coyote Ridge and it has been a wonderful experience since day 1. The teachers are hands on, teach at each child's level, and communicate with parents about things going on in the classroom. Overall, the school keeps parents in the loop about everything going on. We have loved our time at this school, and I'm excited for my fourth child to start there in the fall.

We had an incredible experience at CRES! My big kiddo did 4th and 5th grade—he has dyslexia and ADHD. He was fully supported by the CRES staff. He received top notch intervention which brought him up to grade level after years of struggling to keep up. My younger kiddo had a wonderful kinder and first grade experience. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the CRES staff and community! Definitely the gem of Thompson school district.

I have 2 kids who have been through the school K-5 and it has been the best experience! Coyote Ridge is a school where kids are challenged and supported. They are given voice and choice in their learning with guidance from a team of amazing teachers! The IB Program offers a continuity of learning K-5, and supports the development of international-mindedness in students who want to create a better and more peaceful world. My kids learned to be inquirers, risk-takers, and supportive & balanced humans. I’m so grateful that I have one more child to attend Coyote Ridge!

Coyote Ridge Elementary and The International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) has been outstanding in developing foundational skills in my children. Its holistic approach emphasizes academic excellence, social-emotional growth, and physical development. The inquiry-based learning model encourages critical thinking and problem-solving, making my children more curious and engaged learners.The Programme’s focus on international-mindedness broadens their perspectives, fostering empathy and respect for diverse cultures. The teachers in the PYP are exceptional, going above and beyond to challenge students with creative and engaging units of inquiry. They provide personalized support, recognizing each child’s unique strengths and areas for growth.Moreover, the teachers are amazing and caring, prioritizing students' social and emotional health. They create a nurturing environment where children feel safe and valued. Overall, the PYP has been instrumental in my children's holistic development, preparing them for future success academically, socially, and emotionally.

We are new to the school this year. The second day of school my child was greeted by name in the car line. Also, the teacher has done a wonderful job engaging my child in what they are learning in the classroom and making learning meaningful to the world around her. I have appreciated the IB program in how it interconnects the learning experience with other classes, teaches a foreign language (Spanish), teaches how ask meaningful questions, as well as teaching how to think critically and independently.

My son is in first grade this year and we are impressed by the amount of information he brings home to us. The school encourages parent involvement. All of the staff is super friendly and everyone seems to know every child by name. It amazes me and makes me proud when I get to walk through the hall with my son.

We have 3 kids at Coyote Ridge and have been so impressed with their growth and development over the last 3 years. Our child was struggling with behavior after starting full-day school and both the principal and teachers worked with us and him to be sure he was not left behind and felt confident in his new surroundings. He is now thriving and excelling in both math and reading, two subjects he struggled with when he entered 1st grade. Although I was nervous with the change in principal leadership for the 2014-2015 school year, my fears have been erased. Mr Davis is so great with the kids and works with the parents to be sure everyone is treated fairly and justly. He is an excellent leader and Coyote Ridge is fortunate to have him.

My daughter loves this school. We were blown away when we found out that she'd be able to start Kindergarten because we knew she was ready! She loves her teacher and it blows my mind how much she has learned in such a short amount of time. The individual learning that happens is beyond what I expected. They keep her challenged, yet know where that very fine line is. I myself, have learned so much from the teachers there!

We have loved this school from the start. We didn't know what a wonderful place of learning we had found and we are grateful for it. The help for my daughter has been above and beyond every time. Teachers here are caring and put more time and effort into the children than is expected. I would have a hard time moving out of our home simply because we would be losing an excellent place of learning for our children.

I love this school! My autistic son has attended for the past 3 years and has grown in ways I never imagined. The staff is wonderful and they have an amazing leader in Mrs. Spearnak, the principle. We are leaving the school district sadly and I hate to take him from this incredible school!

I'm the parent of a kindergartener at Coyote and we have had a wonderful first year experience. Our child has learned things we never even dreamed he would learn in kindergarten. He loves going every day. His teacher is kind, patient, and caring.
