Hawk Ridge is one of the best schools in CMS - hand's down! Next year, it will be near its original capacity - 12-14 mobile units are being removed in June. Hawk Ridge kids also enjoy the perk of being next door to the Morrison Family YMCA where HRE kids take advantage of lots of field space, track,

I can't tell you how awesome this school is in such a small amount of space. We recently attempted a relocation to Nashville, TN and had started private school there. My 3rd grade daughter was ahead in science, social studies and reading at the private school and on par with the rest of the class in

Overcrowded? Yes, in a big way, but the kids don't even seem to notice and the staff makes it so seamless. This school is getting overcrowding relief with another new school (Flat Branch)in 2007-2008 and yet another new school (Elon Park) in 2008-2009. Read less

Hawk Ridge is a wonderful school. I have kids attending here since the year it was open and each of them has received a quality education in a safe, warm, and nurturing environment. Yes, it is overcrowded. The staff works very hard to make sure that the students don't feel the effects of this overcrowding.
... Read more The school has many mobile units that have taken over the green areas of the property but luckily we have a generous YMCA next door where the teachers can take the kids when necessary. Unfortunately the start time has been pushed back to 9:15 for next year with the plans to move it back to the earlier 8:30 start time the following year. This was a Charlotte Mecklenburg School administrative decision and should not reflect negatively on the administration of Hawk Ridge. Overall, Hawk Ridge is an excellent school where children can soar! Read less

PROS: Good Principal and teachers. CONS: 1) Overcrowding! There are 24 mobiles at this school. Half of the enrollments is in a mobile. 2) The schools focuses heavily on reading, writing and math and ignores science, arts and PE. 3) In Fall 2006 the school starting will be pushed back to 9:15am.
... Read more This new starting times make it impossible for many working parents to arrive to their work locations before 10:00am. The only alternative would be to enroll our children in before school care. The additional cost to parents for before school care is estimated to be about $2000 per child ($200 / month) for the school year. The children would also pay a cost by extending their day by approximately one hour. 4) The school has no PE fields. This is largly due to the number of mobiles at this school. Consequently, the kids either play in the gym or outside on the black top parking lot. Read less
