This is such a wonderful school! Our two daughters have thrived here. Everyone--the principal, teachers, custodians, office staff, etc. is dedicated to our students. I can't say enough great things about Gold Ridge! (And they do have tables for the kids to eat lunch at. How strange someone wrote that!) The streets are only crowded at drop-off/pick-up time. It's not difficult to park your car and walk your child to school.
This school is extremely disappointing. The children do not have tables to eat lunch on, there is no after school duty or crosswalk (be sure you are there on time or your child could be anywhere), the children are not allowed to playon the playground before school and finally there is no designated drop off/pick up area so you have to park on the the aready crowed streets and walk in to pick up your child. This school is way behind the times and I would not recommend it.
Both of my children attended Gold Ridge and I feel the education they received was at a very high level. The teachers develop the whole child including visual and performing arts. The entire staff is friendly and hard working.
My kids have been at Goldridge from kindergarten up until last year and I knew we had a great school, but boy do I realize it now!!!! The School is not only about the curriculum, it s also about the staff, the PTA and how a child and their parents fell at the school. A school could have the best curriculum but if their staff lacks friendliness and a smile, the school will never be completely successful. Let me tell you, if you have not been in any other school you really don't know how great GoldRidge's staff is, our office staff is the greatest and friendliest people I know, they make the school welcoming and fun to volunteer at. I really miss GoldRidge, it still is in my humble opinion far better than most schools, not only in their curriculum but also in their friendliness, overall performance and management.
My family has been part of the Gold Ridge family for the last nine years. Both of my daughters have had a wonderful experience and phenomenal teachers. We love our principal, Curtis Wilson, as well as the three Lisas in the office. We are lucky to be so close to such a great school.
Teachers and faculty here are amazing!
I love this school. Both of my kids have had a great experience. I especially love the Lisa's in the office. The new principal seems pretty fabulous too.

My son attended both kindergarten and First grade at Gold Ridge. The kindregarten teachers were wonderful.
Great school, good facilities. Great teachers. They are so wonderful in nurturing and caring kids. I had to agree with other parent's comment on the Principle, some time she acts like politician or lawyer rathar than educator.
