GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Sandy Ridge is a great school. My child is going to the 3rd grade and has learned so much since starting kindergarten there. He has developed tremendously and continues to amaze me with how much he knows about science and math. He's struggled with reading but his teachers have communicated well with me to help him be a better reader over the summer. The school is very supportive of the parents and provides events to help us enhance our child's learning experience outside of school. The new Principal and Asst. Principal are excellent and the children love them already after 1 year. The school is in my neighborhood and is great for the commute when necessary. I am been on the PTA board and learned more about how great the school is and providing financial and physical support to all grade levels and the teachers. The school is absolutely wonderful and we love them for all they do in the lives of the children each day.
