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.

Our two daughters were transferred from Chaparral Elementary in the rezoning last year. Our first year at Ponderosa we saw a fairly seamless transference in IEP goals and implementation. I love our teachers and so I say this more as a light criticism of our school district and our State: our teacher...

Absolutely the best school in the district! They have all the specialty programs for excellence! They even have full day kindergarten and preschool. My kids have accelerated 2 grades by just being at this school. It is a 10/10

It seems to be Ponderosa is ran well, but I feel they could push the students to reach a little higher. Kids are like Sponges. Teach them well!

Poor. My kids attended recently but do not anymore (middle school now). I never got along with the principal and do not trust her. I had a handful of good teachers over the years there and really appreciate them, but I think they are good in spite of the principal, not because of her.
