Ridgewood Elementary School

I attended Ridgewood, and my son now currently attends. Then and now, it's gone above and beyond our expectations. We want to ensure that we stay in this district as long as we are in Humboldt County, as I have been nothing but amazed at the passion and dedication of the staff and parents at this school. The way the parents have pulled together to help make up for budget losses in the past 2 years has been truly admirable. I will do what I can to ensure that when my daughter is ready to start Kindergarten, that she is able to attend Ridgewood.

My children had the pleasure of attending both Ridgewood and Cutten schools. Now my grand-daughter has gone through Ridgewood and is in 5th grade at Cutten. I loved the schools when my kids were little and am so happy my grand-daughter has been fortunate enough to attend there too. Some of the same teachers are still there from when my kids attended. There is such a feeling of community and family at these schools.

My grandson has attended Ridgewood, for the past 3 years. I have to say, the teachers and staff are beyond excellence. I highly recommend Ridgewood Elementary, to anyone, who wants the best education for their children.

my daughter went to this school for three years and we loved it. the teachers are amazing and go above and beyone what we could have ever asked them to do. i would recomend this school to anyone and everyone.

My daughter attended Ridgewood for three years, as it provides classrooms for Kindergarten, first and second grades only. Because of this, small children are completely catered to at this wonderful school. On 'buddy day' each week, older kids from the Cutten school district do projects with them. Ridgewood does not boast great music or sports opportunities, but offers all that that the kids need at this age. The success of this school is almost completely due to the amazing amount of parental involvement and the dedicated staff that tend to serve their whole careers here. The principal is caring and fun as well as professinal, and knows every student by name. Daily assemblies teach the children lessons as well as more songs than I've ever known a school to teach, and most songs are sung in sign language. Many field trips and loving interaction with special needs students.
