We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The teachers are all elementary students to talk to, and they always offer to help if you ever ask questions. The student-led activities are fun and engaging, and sports are essential to the school, which makes sporting events more fun.

South Ridge is a great school, I love how small it is and you really get to know everybody. There are some teachers that aren't the nicest but regardless I love this school I've been going here sense it opened and I've always liked how small it is and you get to know everyone.
