We have had a phenomenal experience at this school (2 years), with fabulous teaching and attention to our unique needs. The principal, Ms Greenwood, knows how to command respect while keeping students engaged in learning and as a student body. I cannot give enough stars to Ms Sarah, Ms Kara, Mrs Kinne and Mrs Voytko for the impact they’ve made on my kids’ learning and direction.

During the summer of 2010, Ridgway Elementary hired a new principal. He is a qualified, compassionate leader - the finest with whom I have worked.

It's hard to believe such a great community with great kids has to accept a school district that supports a poor elementary administrator. We would have no complaints other than the quality of education is severely reduced by one ineffective leader.

We love this school! Our son has been in several schools including homeschooling and this school is amazing. The teachers are fantastic, keep him busy even at his above average skill set. It is a small school with really great parents, children and teachers. We also have a preschooler and that program is also fantastic!!! I have nothing but great things to say about Ridgway. (Our son had been to school in Boulder, CO (great schools) and Montrose (Cottonwood, we pulled him out and homeschooled him until we could move to Ridgway.) Love love love!
