Eagle Ridge Junior High is an amazing and top-notch school! The teachers are excellent, dedicated, enthusiastic, creative and caring. They know their students well and their communication with parents is excellent. There is strong and excellent leadership by the principal who knows the students on a first name basis and also supports them in their extra-curricular activities. The students here are high achievers, are challenged and excel in their studies, But, the student who needs extra help or who is in the special education program is also very well cared for and supported and will succeed. The students here are very caring and friendly. The school has a family feeling due to the easy layout and the unique housing system which creates smaller class sizes by grade, and teachers who know their students well. Eagle Ridge is an amazing Junior High and I highly recommend this school to those who are looking for a positive and excellent academic experience!
