My kid entered this school at the 2nd grade, he has excelled at math and writing. I recommend this school to most kids.

Indoctrination into political ideology starting in kindergarten. I removed my child. Let them be kids and stick to age appropriate academics.

Ridgecrest is a great school with talented teachers and a diverse student population. Our children have thrived in the classroom and agree that their teachers are top notch.

Ridgecrest has been a good solid school with dedicated families and students. Our child entered kindergarten and has really excelled here. He is now in the hi cap program but honestly both the traditional classrooms and hi cap are top notch. The principal sincerely cares about the students and families. We are so thankful that this is our neighborhood school.

Our family essentially moved from Australia in order for our son to attend Ridgecrest. As he is severely vision impaired our son was not receiving the services or resources essential to his education and growth and after much research, interviews and visiting schools in the Edmonds, Shoreline and Seattle School Districts we chose Ridgecrest Elementary in Shoreline as it offered all that we were looking for. My son and our family were genuinely welcomed, all information provided, the teachers and specialists were available to answer our barrage of questions, his evaluation was thoroughly completed and we were fully kept abreast of all ongoings and decisions. I cannot say how wonderful this school, its facilities, teachers, parents, students and atmosphere is like. It is a joy to take my son to school knowing he is happy, accepted and enjoys his time there and receiving all his education and services. The PTA is strong, support staff are beyond excellent and the school has a great sense of community and are a family. Our move to better our sons future was worth every cent, effort and moment.

I love Ridgecrest. I have a daughter with developmental delays and the Special Ed K/1st teacher is excellent. That and the whole school is just well run, professional, thoughtful, just great. My neighbor's daughter is in high capability there and she's also thrilled with the school. Highly recommend. Shoreline is kind of a boring suburb, but if you want good schools, move there, or Lake Forest Park, which are both in the Shoreline School District.
