I have only had positive experiences with my two children who have attended Prairie Ridge! I was nervous for the transition to middle school, but it has been great!

I enjoy PRMS. They have very kind teachers, amazing and fast action on incidents, great food, and more! The teachers and counselors are there for you and understand you. I feel as that is important especially in today’s society.
