Timber Ridge Middle School

Love the school. They have accelerated classes available and try hard to meet each child's individual needs. The teachers are attentive and do not hesitate to call me if there is a concern. There have been no problems at all and the children all have different friends, sports or clubs they are involved with. My children have flourished here and I am very happy with the teachers, classes and extracurricular activities offered.

My son is a 7th grade student at Timber Ridge. I have been extremely happy with his education and all of his teachers thus far. While he knows kids that get into trouble and have not excelled at this school, I do believe each child can only make that decision for themselves. And we as parents need to keep them on track and be involved in their lives. My husband has talked about moving but I have two younger children and will want to wait to move until they go thru this school as with their excellent elementary school!

I am actully a student here at Timber Ridge and soon to graduate. I must say, there are alot of pros and cons witht his school. Teachers do yes, pick 'favorites' and some will not let children turn in late work. I have one of those teachers. There are definetly alot of fights and drug busts at this school! We already had 3 fights in the first semiester! aAnd now currently have a regular dog patrol. The teaching methods though are quite easy to understand. I personally understand everything my teacher teaches me. After school activities are provivded and are quite exilerating! Dances are definetly fun. A child has much to look forward to. Band and Choir go to 6 Flags, 6th Graders got to Medveil Times, 7th Graders go to Navy Pier and Outdoor Ed, 8th Graders have a Lock-in, Splash Station, and Graduation. This school is good and bad.

There is somewhat a lot of fighting and there are teachers that have 'favorites'. But they teachers are nice and the school is neat.

I am a parent of a current 8th grade student at Timber Ridge. We came from the Plainfield Elementary Schools into TR. While entering 6th grade was a bit of a change, once you acclimated yourself to the group teaching method, things smoothed out. My son has excelled at this school because of the teachers and teaching methods. He is an Honor student in advanced classes and will go on to Plainfield Central High School to continue his education. I have found the administration, Principal, Assistant Principal and Dean all to be helpful and encouraging when I needed to address and concerns or questions. As a parent, we need to be more involved with our students and their schools. Only then can we have a clear understanding of the system. Good Luck To Ms. Adams as this is her last year.

I am EXTREMELY disappointed that we moved to this school district, especially into this middle school in particular. I am quite angry about the teacher quality and lack of academic care. This school has completely failed my family, we must move out of our new home, just to get out of this school district.
