I just love this school! My daughter use to attend Alvah Scott Elem. from K-3 and wasn't doing to well. I heard that Pearl Ridge Elem. is a very good school. So I got a GE and she improved so much. The teachers are very dedicated to the students. My daughter's teacher would volunteer her time to

After school the kids are supervised by the staff, so you don't see them out of control and running around. It's amazing, all the kids sit on the ground quietly until the parents pick them up. I highly recommend sending your child to this school! I'm very satisfied with Pearl Ridge Elem.! Read less

Examples of these are: recycling campaigns, canned goods drive, and clothing donations to help the homeless and less fortunate. Parent participation is great.

The drawbacks are: the school lost an excellent principal to retirement (2004); no gymnasium. Pearl Ridge students are proud of their school. Read less
