7/14/2025

I have been going to Pacific Ridge for about 4 years now and I am so glad my parents decided to send me there. I genuinely love all my teachers and I have never ever had any issues with reaching out for help and the support I receive is always amazing. I'm always pushed to excel in all subjects and there is so much opportunity in sports and arts. Pacific ridge is a great school for anyone interested in academics or a healthy environment surrounding diversity and inclusion.

As a former student at PRS I really don't understand the negative reviews. I have gone to this school from 7th-12th grade and have loved every year so much. The grades and classes are small which allow for you to get to know everyone very well and feel connected with your whole community. The campus...

My experience at Pacific Ridge School has been nothing short of fantastic. I unfortunately only got the opportunity to spend my last two years of high school here, but my techniques in all subjects had a rapid incline. In my English classes, I was supported completely and I could genuinely see my wr...
