It was okay but it wasn't as good as Garfield 2: A tale of two kiddies. 0/10000 NO GARFIELD IN IT DON'T BOTHER ENROLLING

It was horrible. The Teachers HIT ME! IN THE BALLLLLLLSSS. children bribe the principle for As and the spanish teacher yells at us to punch ourselves and she gives us all Fs no matter what!!!!!!!!!! Dx but there was a big rumor going around that garfield 2: tale of two kitties was a better school thern that one.

Sunset Ridge Elementary is a good school. Parents are very involved and there are many extra activities to take part in and opportunities to volunteer. Unfortunately, there is a Full Day Kindergarten teacher that came to the school on acedemic probation from another school in the district who is unfit to teach. Many parents enroll there kids in another school for K to avoid this teacher and then transfer back to Sunset Ridge for 1st grade. The principal of this school, although relatively new, has done absolutely nothing to remedy the situation.

Works with each individuals needs and the staff as a whole is very open and approachable. I have never heard one parent have anything bad to say. VERY involved parents/community.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Kansas used the Kansas State Assessments (KSA) to test students in grades 3 though 8, 11 and 12 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7, 11 and 12 in science; and in grades 6, 8 and 12 in history-government. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kansas. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
