Amazing teachers with big hearts! I truly appreciate how attentive they are to my child's individual needs. He learns at his own pace, and the staff provides the patience, support, and resources to help him succeed. Their dedication and kindness make all the difference!

The staff, teachers, and administrators work so hard to make River Ridge an exceptional school. It really does feel like a family. My son has blossomed there over the past 3 years, even with Covid going on! His grades and reading scores are up. We love RR!

This school is the worst. The office staff and teachers don't know how to communicate with the parents. Poor teaching efforts. Never any homework sent home. Over all they show no concern in teaching and helping kids learn.

I would like to thank Ms. K Williams and Ms. Charroux for the great teaching of our granddaughters kindergarten class. She has learned so much and is continuing to learn. Also for making it fun to learn. However I do feel that there are a lot of "homework" for kindergartners. Such as Word Wall Words, Math, Monthly Calendar and reading. We try very hard to get it all in in the little time they have at home. but sometimes it's a struggle. I thank you from a grandparents perspective and appreciate everything you do and for going over these curriculum's at school. Our granddaughter loves her school and so far we are happy to be there. There are so many to Thank at River Ridge but would like to give Kudos to the staff helping with the car pool line.... Thanks for keeping it moving..

The parents who love this school are in the majority. Unfortunately, our experience was not so great. Although my child has exceptional interests, above average intelligence, scores in the higher percentiles regularly on the standardized tests, and received practically straight A's all year, she is a minority. Unfortunately I witnessed throughout the year, more often than I should have, correction of the minorities and nurturing of the other kids, whether they deserved it or not. We are not returning to River Ridge after this year.
