The school prioratize legacy students and has clear preferential treatment for the students whose parents give money to the school. School leaders are unapproachable. Board is a rubber stamp. DEIB is a sham.

I Absolutely love this school. My daughter left another all girl private school in fourth grade to attend Stone Ridge. It was the best choice I could have made. The teachers challenge the students and the leadership promotes a friendly environment. The new Mater Center is amazing and they plan to do more projects in the future. I also love how active the parents are with extracurricular activities. Such a wonderful school!!

Stone Ridge lower school is a gem. The teachers are nurturing and really allow your child to be who they are. I love that Stone Ridge centers God in everything they do and that my daughter is getting a Christian education. The structured environment works well for my daughter, who struggles with inattention, and Stone Ridge admin is working on growing their care team to better support neurodiverse kids.

There is a culture of fear. No one is willing to say anything critical unless they are prepared to take their daughter out of school. Christian values have nothing to do with their practices. Money and clique rules the school. If you are a person of color and no big check to write, be prepared to be...

I have to go to this school because my parents want me to. School sucks. There is too much homework, and teachers don't care to help. Bullying is common, and reporting gets you in trouble. I can not wait to get out of this school. I used to be a happy person until my parents put me in this school.

Go if you are white, rich, and catholic. Nothing wrong with a school being that if it is not sold as inclusive. Very little is taught in the class. Back breaking backpacks and all consuming homework. No time to do anything else. Stress is overpowering, leading so many students to anxiety disorders,...
