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.

There was not enough sensitivity to special needs. Staff and students need to be educated on how to deal with high functioning autism. Some staff were wonderful, and others did not understand. As a result, my child often got penalized for having a meltdown when in fact he was bullied by kids savvy enough to know how to stay out of trouble. Academically, my child thrived.

Park Ridge is honestly a good community where you are definitely encouraged to learn, be an athlete, and be involved because everyone else is too. It's small but you do know all of the teachers and they become very helpful and personal that way.
