this school is very bad, the principals here are very inconsiderate of us and how we feel, there is hella bullying here and i do not recommend bringing ur kid here unless u want them 2 get bullied and u have therapy money, they also are very racist towards the poc community they will treat you like u are lower than them just because they are white. the teachers also seem to hate coming to this school everyday, if that doesn't say enough then idk.

this school is one of the worst schools to put your child in, the bullying is out of control in this school the admission station seems to not put much effort into these children. some of the teachers are rude and seem like they don't even wanna come to school to teach. don't let your child come to this school pick any other school. Your child will come home drained because everything about this school is not fun or positive.

The teachers and education is okay, it's like a normal school but the bullying is a problem. Kids make fun of and laugh at other students while pretending to want to be their best friend but laughing and talking about each other behind their backs. Administration really needs to look at kids actions more closely. This is school honestly had good teachers who care but the bullying problems need to be more acknowledged

My two children went to this school and we had great experiences with their teachers. I always believe you get out of it what you put into it! We were very happy with the education at Timber Ridge.

The school is great i have had two kids going here and both had an exceptional experience, their are many after school activities the school is a little crowded so if you want a one-on-one teaching this wouldn't be the place but over all a great school.

Now, I am going to start off by saying that I have just graduated from this school. I will start off with teachers. They are very professional and know a lot about what they are teaching. All three years, my science teachers were actually well trained, with my 8th grade science teacher actually being a scientist (She worked in labs, etc.). All teachers went to college for what they are teaching. I would like to say that my 8th grade teachers really helped me develop both in maturity and emotionally. Some teachers are very strict. Next, classes- The classes are pretty simple, with tests making up most of your grade, so if you don't study or pay attention, you will not do well. The reason most students don't do well is because they don't care. They don't put in any effort. But I will say that it was very easy for me to get straight A's. Textbooks are pretty new, but they need to replace Social Studies books (Really bad condition) Clubs- There are many, such as a array of different bands, sports, drama, environmental, book clubs, etc. Students are why I only gave this school 4 stars. They are rude and only care about themselves.. Bullying is a huge problem here.
