I love teaching at this school, and I believe it is top notch in Christian education. The administration is great and really knows how to run a Christian school, the other teachers are all cream of the crop, and the students are so easy to teach. I would recommend this school to anyone

Both of my children having been attending Eagle Ridge Christian School since they were two years of age. By the age of four, both were reading, could count to over one-hundred and were obviously well above their peers. I like the fact that my children are pushed beyond the norm. I am pleased with the Christian environment, as well as the acedemics. I feel good knowing that my children are in a clean and safe environment.

Our daughter has graduated from Eagle Ridge and our son has never went any where else. We highly recommend Eagle Ridge Christian, not only for quality of academic programs, sports etc. But, for the moral values and biblical teaching. We know that our children will get the teaching at school as same as at school. We thank God for the ability to send them to this school. And, recommend it for you. Hughes Family

My son has learned how to read and write in cursive as a kindergartener. I highly recommend this school to anyone serious about quality education for their child as well as a safe, Godly environment. I give the school an A+!

As a parent, I am very thankful for Eagle Ridge and the environment the school has provided. It is a very secure and safe school with a proven track record for demonstrating strong academics. Both my children have tested well beyond their grade level nationally as a result of this school. I highly recommend this school.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
