We have just moved to the area there are 4 kindergarden classes 22 in a class. The school is large. It is too early to tell how this school will be. You will receive a car pool number to receive your child. Most kids take the bus. The gifted or alpha program is in another school the students are bused there and you must test for it during the following school year or year prior to coming to Deer Ridge. Teachers seem motivated and there is a structured curriculum.
Deer Ridge is the best. Great teachers and great students. This is a high achieving school. People who jsut send their kid to scholl and don't participate will find it hard to fit in as parents are very active.
My four children all have attended, or, in the case of my youngest, will attend Deer Ridge Elementary. I have a child who is classified as gifted, and one who has special educational needs, and the Deer Ridge faculty and staff have been able to meet the needs of both on either end of the academic spectrum. While I do agree that there is a lack of cultural diversity at the school, this is not a fault of the school nor its administration, but rather a simple matter of geography. Deer Ridge neighborhoods are among the least culturally diverse in the area; therefore, the population coming from these neighborhoods reflects this. I attempt to make up for this lack of diversity by having my children involved in outreach through my church and in our home life; this can help with the sheltered feeling one can get at Deer Ridge. Excellent school!
fantastic leadership provided by the principal, Mr. Graf. Helps the highly motivated and dedicated teahers and staff at school, keep kids intellectually stimulated and interested in academics and all the extra curricular activities.Kids are so secured and happy at this school.cant thank my stars enough for having my daughter to study at deer ridge which will pave the way for her to be a good human being while being a good student.
