So many disrespectful racist homophobic & ableist students! The staff does nothing to stop this behavior. Don't enroll your kids unless you want them to walk out saying every slur in the book. Emailed the principal about this but he nor any staff did anything.

My children have been attending this school for the past three years and all I can say is - thank you. They have matured as students and as individuals, they are happy.

Experience was awful. My son was told to wait in the office to be picked up, he was sick. I went to pick up my son and the nurse sent my son back to his class room, not only did the nurse at Coyote ridge elementary send him back to his class Room but she also gave him medication she was not authorized to give . The nurse at Coyote ridge failed to look in my son's chart to see what he can and can't have in the form of medication!! Unacceptable.

Absolutely horrible. I fear for my child at this school due to the lack of care from the leadership.

I give this school an 2. There are always good teachers but they are over worked and underpaid. If there was a strong leadership with the principal I think overall the school could improve drastically.

The Principal Mr Abbott is only worried about how he looks for District. The students learning is minimum especially the Jr High kids. There are students in the 7th grade reading at a 1st grade level. The 7th graders from 2015-2016 didn't learn for a whole year. There were 3 teachers that were incompetent and the kids missed out on a year of learning. Mr Abbott only cares about himself. He has caused the school to go down hill. Complaining to the District about him will do you no good. If you are thinking about putting your kids in this school please think long and hard.

Sad. One word that's how I feel about what has happened to this school. The new principle is running it straight into the ground. I'll be getting my kids off of this sinking ship ASAP!!

The teachers are great and informative. My daughter has been going there since kindergarten and she's enjoyed every teacher she's had. All her teachers have done great getting her to open up and are a big reason she is excelling in all subjects.

This is a terrible school now. This school was far better when it first started. Now, it has become a total wreck. The new principal has changed a few things in the school, which isnt so bad. However, the school is starting to crumble. The Vice Principal disapeared with no explanation to why she left. There is hardly any communication that happens in this school when it used to be with paper slips of information sent home occasionally. Already, the teachers are being fussy and with unprofessional attitude in the school. They expect the children to act better than them when they are not setting a good example of how to. Also, they have changed the way that students are being picked up from school. There are already so many accidents that are bound to happen. It is simply frustrating everyone. I do understand that this was intentionally to make it a safer process. However, it is making everyone frustrate, which would lead to a unsafe environment.

This school was a great expierence until we got a new principal that made us ajust to a school enviorment that hes used to rather than adjusting to ours. He hade some reasonable changes & some that were unneccessary. Many stundents were very upset when he cancelled the halloween parade for religious reasons & becuase it takes time away from learning however it has never been a problem in the past , students used to come in school clothing change into a costume for the parade , then change out of costume and the day procceds normally as any other day. The staff & teachers are very friendly and encourge students to work hard and achieve their goals, however some teachers simply dont now how to teach some students due to different way of learing in a class. Many students in the 2012-2013 7th grade class had a difficult time learning in mr.friedmans due to many distractions in the classroom, he called the front office almost everyday causing the class to pause for about 15 minutes for missbehavior that could have been resolved with a simple detention.

Teachers and staff are deligent and caring. They always go above and beyond for each other and students. I've taught at Cridge over 5 years and love the students and sense of community with staff.
