Shadow Ridge has been a great school for both my kids. The teachers/staff are involved. The PTA is active. This school is not overcrowded like some other area schools. A wide variety of pragrams and learning opportunities are offered to keep students engaged. I recommend SRMS to other families. Go Panthers!

This is the best school I have ever attended. If you are moving to Flower Mound I would recomend SRMS for your students. This school has the nicest staff you could ever meet. You receive the best education here. The school is not crowded at all. Any time a student is struggling the teachers work on a plan just for them to help them not struggle. This school fits everyones unique style and personality. This is definetly the #1 middle school around!

this school is really good. the teachers, the staff, and just about everyone. the foods okkayy . but I wouldnt eat it everyday. I like the idea of 'teaming'. gives us students to read for 25 minutes w/ complete silence.

Shadow Ridge is one of the best middle schools around in terms of the students' academic environment. It is a well-disciplined environment in which students have a wonderful education available to them, should they choose to avail themselves of the excellent resources at the school. The arts programs are outstanding, as is the athletics program. The school is well-stocked and staffed and parent involvement is the norm rather than the exception. My daughter has been very safe and happy there and I am pleased with the leadership and the teachers at the school.

The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
