Chester Goodridge Elementary School

School and teachers are really available to my daughter and her needs. My daughter did attend a neighboring school and neither one of us liked it. Teachers seemed disinterested, fellow classmates was more rude and snobby. The students a goodridge are more freindly.

As a parent of a special needs child I have much to say on the special needs program. It has been a truly disappointing program for my autistic son. They are totally unequipped to teach my son. I would not trust these people with your special needs child. In the IEP meetings they are telling you what you want to hear. Make sure you are observing the classroom unannounced everyday!

As the parent of two special education students and a long time teacher out of state, I cannot heap enough praise on the leadership and skill of those with whom we have dealt. As anyone who has children with IEPs will tell you, assuring that your child receives that best possible education is a constant, often painful struggle. At Goodridge, it is an assumption-- we have never had to press for services, never met a teacher who was unwilling to work with my children, or an administrator who was not fully supportive and understanding. Perhaps this is the norm here, but having 17 years of experience in large urban and suburban districts, I can assure you it is not like this elsewhere. I am thankful every day that our move to KY gave us a district of such high quality and obvious dedication. --Faye Lewis

Goodridge is an amazing school. There are ample opportunities for children to thrive in the classroom as well as in music, art and enrichment. It has been my experience that the parents, teachers and administration all work hand in hand to make available the highest levels of education and experience for the children.
