Lake Ridge Elementary School

My Child has really blossomed here. She came from Christ Chapel hating to read and despised homework, now she loves both! Her teacher is awesome and I couldn't be happier.

I have 3 boys and we have been attending LRES for the past 8 years. This is our last year as we are being transfered and it makes me so sad to be leaving this incredable school!! The teachers have all been open and caring and very easy to comunicate with. Each child is an individual at this school and even the office staff gets to know each and every one of them!!! We will miss this school so much and all they have ment to our children. I'm certain we will never find such a top notch, caring school again!!!

We are a military family and have been in several schools. LR is filled with caring teachers and staff. They look at each student individually and make the necessary accomodations to help each each do his/her best. A great school with a caring staff!

My daughter is in 1st grade at LRES. We coudln't be any happier with the teachers and staff. Both last year and already this year, her teachers were easy to communicate with and really keep the parents in the loop. My daughter has excelled tremendously here and there are many opportunities for her to continue.

My son is in the 5th grade at LRES, and has been at the school since kindergarten. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the teachers, staff, children, and parents at this school. It truly feels like a family, and we are sad to be leaving. There are so many activities and programs to be involved with. Chess Club, Club Fit, Strings, Signet...

This is my son's 2nd year and I am impressed with the teachers. There was constant communication between his teacher and I. They have a great French program. The classes could be a bit smaller. There were about 28. Overall, great school,teachers and students.

We are entering our second year at LRES. We had an overall good year. The class size is very large in most grades...28 in my son's 4th grade class. A lot of ESL kids. The teachers are really teaching for the standardized tests...it doesn't leave a lot of room for anything else besides 'test-taking' practice. Overall a good experience...beware of a few teachers that are unorganized and very ineffective...the administration is hush-hush but willing to work with parents who are unhappy. Great parent organization.

We have loved this school and our daughter has excelled here, placing in the Gifted/Talented program. They have good teachers but the coming year will be eventful because they are getting a new principal (after 17 years with Mr. Scott!) and a few new teachers due to turnover. Hopefully this transistion will go smoothly and the school will continue to excell.
