I have an extremely intelligent child and every year all of her teachers push her and challenge her - something you usually don't find in a public school. The faculty is great, and you have a real sense of 'school community' at River Ridge.
So far so good. I wish the first grade teachers were better equipped and more willing to work with the kids who already know the material. First grade caters to those kids who need to catch up. The higher grades 2 and up are better at working with the smarter kids. Mr. Henson does his best but it does seem that in many cases there is not much he can add to the core curriculum. His hands are tied by the constraints of the school district and testing. I recommend that parents supplement their child's learning to ensure a full well-rounded education. There is not enough focus on science and math at this school because it is 'reading centered' which is great...if you need to learn how to read. If a parent is really involved&willing to enhance their child's learning by teaching math and science this is the perfect school.
The faculty works together to provide the best learning environment for each individual child. My child has special needs and his special education teacher is the best at not only teaching him, but loving him for who he is.
my son loves river ridge he is in a special education program, and they have really helped him learn and pay attention they have done more with him than he has allowed me to do. you dont find many schools with this much compassion. all the teachers there are wonderful.
