I withdrew my child because he was assaulted which resulted in injury, and nothing was done about the incident. The principal didn't even bother to call or email me to advise me that the matter had been addressed. The assault was severe enough that my child was terrified to return to school. I felt the teacher quality is excellent. Standards are inferior to other states and there is no enrichment for high-achieving students. We are from California, and my child laughed about the material presented in class. He qualified for the Spelling Bee without trying, and he said that his fifth-grade spelling material was the equivalent of second-grade material in California.
I love the school and the atmosphere it provides. The entire staff has more than met the needs of my two children who are as different as night and day. The teachers are loving but know how to push the children to achieve their best. The principal is really in touch with the kids. I had the pleasure of being on a committee with the principal and other parents and the way he listened to us and helped us was very impressive. I also appreciate his willingness to makes the best (even if they're not the most popular) decisions for the school community in order to make sure that we maintain our high level of achievement. Kudos to Pine Ridge!
Pine Ridge Elementary is the best! Our children cannot wait to go to school each day and we are so happy that this is our neighborhood school. Families in the area are happy to volunteer and this is encouraged by our school (not all schools are this welcoming). Our principal is extremely involved in events and knows so many of the students! He has done a tremendous job of hiring quality staff and letting go of teachers who are not professional and/or not up to par. We couldn't imagine sending our children anywhere else.
Great teachers, great children, great families, great community. Not so great principal. Recently, he let go a great teacher doing great things for our children. Very disappointed in his leadership. We want excellent teachers, she was one and he let her go. We are suppose to be attracting and retaining great teachers that produce great schools for our children. You couldn't find a better one and he let her go. It has nothing to do with her teaching or with students? he stated. Then, keep her!
Pine Ridge is a fantastic school. The administration is great. Any minor issue that has come up, was dealt with right away. The teachers are top notch and do a wonderful job! Their hard work doesn't go unnoticed. The school is warm and friendly. The principal is always outside greeting the kids in the morning and afternoon. They have the latest in technology. Great literature is read to the kids, which is giving them a love for reading. Safety is a huge focus too, which is great! I don't have one complaint.
Been very happy with the school this far. Music education not all that but the school administration is top notch and so are the classroom teachers.
Fabulous school. Great teachers, innovative learning opportunities and styles. The school really lets each teacher take it to the next level.
An elementary school that provides the "Cherry Creek School District experience"! Outstanding teaching staff, administration, facility - truly an excellent school - glad to have my child here.
