I attended Pine Ridge for about six years, along with my brother who was bullied constantly throughout the time in which he attended Pine Ridge himself. Despite our desperate attempts at getting help for the situation, it never got any better. The school refused to do anything. They simply didn't care. The special-ed program is poor, and the school as a whole is not at all accompanying to students with special needs. Basically, if you don't conform to their standards, you are pushed aside and left to fend for yourself. Lunch was rushed, with a total of about 10 minutes to eat. The yard duties were always very temperamental. They would line us up and count as off as though we were livestock, screaming at us for so much as sneezing on the walk to the playground. I know a large number of students who were traumatized by this. I myself was brought to tears a few times. They didn't seem to care about the students at all. When inspection time came, they wouldn't even let us use the restrooms. They said it would ruin the inspection and cause the school to be shut down (considering the fact that the bathrooms were so unsanitary). I honestly wouldn't recommend this school to anyone.
The biggest problem with this school is not the dedicated staff willing to spend time with students before and after school and extra help during those times and at recess and lunches. They pour their heart into their career and students. The biggest problem I see has to do with parent involvement. There are very,very few parents willing to help in classrooms, on field trips, on fundraising, on homework with their own students. The best possible outcome for our students is to become actively involved in their education. Support them in the process, show them it is important and to teach them respect of themselves, their fellow students and respect for school staff. If parents teach their children the value of education & don't just reflect their own frustration about the lack of education they had attained, parents teach a lack of desire for education. If students are not memorizing basic facts, it is the responsibility of the parent to see how they can help. You blame a teacher because a student drew a picture on homework?Where was the parent, why haven't the parents checked homework & grades online? Parents need to step up the opportunity to step up has been given to you!

N O T E V E N K O S H E R ! ! ! Year after year this school doesn't make the cut. The state should send in an official to evaluate the school when they aren't expecting it. Or better they should mail out evaluations to the parents that go straight back to the state officials!

I can tell you why this school's test scores are so bad. The emphasis is on turning in homework rather than actually learning anything. In one of the classes, the teacher walks down the aisle and if you did your homework you get full points. Doesn't matter if it's right or not. One of my kid's friends drew a dog p**ing on a tree for part of the homework and the teacher didn't even notice. How pathetic is that? The sad part is that the kids are getting good grades in the classroom because the quality of work or what they've learned barely factors in. This will be a shock for them in the real world when they find out that colleges and employers actually expect and demand quality.

This school has been in decline for the last several years. If the students were receiving everything they need, that would reflect on their scores, and the schools performance. The academic performance reviews from the state speak for themselves and were posted in the town paper for all to see. I think most students want the kind of connection with their school that gives them that inner since of pride. I think most parents want to know their children are receiving a quality education. I feel sorry for the students and parents at this school. Since the school hasn't been able to turn it s self around, maybe some external assistance or intervention is due. Actions should have results that reflect improvement. *To really connect this school needs to operate with caring attitudes and not controlling attitudes. I believe that is a biggest key to getting things on track for these students to thrive in their education.

Pine Ridge is a great school. They have a great academic program and is located in a lovely area of forestry. The teachers care and support the kids and the administration does an excellent job getting info out. Its in a very small town and has the small town feel to it also. No guns or knives reported here.

This is a small school in a small community. It is nice because most of the staff know most, if not all, of the students. Both of my children have had good experiences here and enjoy coming to school. Art & Music are available for 4th grade+. Unfortunately, sports and other extra-curricular activities are not offered thru the school, but are offered thru the Parks & Rec. I'd like to see some after-school activities offered. Also, this school is considering become a K-8 school by combining with the adjacent middle school.There is currently a Steering Committee being formed to look into the pros and cons of such a change.

The teachers seem to really care about helping the students succeed at this school. The school has great reading teachers and aides to help in the classrooms. Most teachers seem very receptive to having parents help out as much as possible.

This school has a very caring environment. It should be pointed out though that there are a lot of special ed students (as this school takes the students from the whole Magalia area) and it can be distracting in the classrooms. The outbursts in the classroom and the one on one attendants distract from the school day.

The three R's are stressed empatically, and to a fault. Parent participation and involvement is almost nonexistant. School performances = 1 (same 1 Christmas performance over 10 years in a row!). No communication between teachers & parents. Rare positive feedback with no parental involvement. Little, if any, extra curricular activities. As children go through grades thier desire to learn and enthusiasm drops off dramatically. Would not recommend this school, unless you are a parent who never wants to hear from the school nor wants your child to further education.

My son is in K. this year and we are thrilled with the teacher (Check). Very caring, high expectations, wonderful classroom discipline. Parent involvement is OK and seems to be on the upswing. The atmosphere is fantastic....very friendly. Administration seems to be competent. Have heard great things about most of the teachers and I understand the jr. high is excellent as well. I would highly recommend this school.

Parents and teachers are great. The school is great...it's the policies that are a little behind. My daughter has learned and developed well with the close attention paid to these students.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
