The best elementary school in Birdville - I wouldn't have my kids anywhere else. Amazing teachers and an absolutely wonderful principal.

I have to agree with everything that was written so far. The staff is wonderful !!! We have been there since 2003 and since we have a first grader , we will be there for many years to come. The PTA is run by the same people over and over, itis a rat race to try and get involved. If you want to be a grade coordinator or room parent, tough! If you werent last year chance are you wont get your pick this time. Basically we all have to wait until the ones that are running it move to the middle school.

The Staff and Administration of North Ridge Elementary have consistently exceeded our expectations. The curriculum taught has maintained a high educational standard for our child. The interaction between parent and educator is excellent, with timely, accurate feedback from the school staff. We are very involved in our child's schooling and appreciate all the time and effort the staff put into providing our child with a high quality education. Mrs. Sandoval had maintained communication with us from the first day of school. We understand the expectations of the educators and focus our efforts where they are needed, through this knowledge.
