Oakdale

I don't have a child and don't know anyone whos kid goes to this school but I thought I'd share my experience anyway. I had to call the school regarding donations of school supplies to the school. After a couple of rings someone picks up and say "Hello!" but not in the friendly tone. I wasn't even sure I had the right number because it just did not sound professional like someone should sound when they work at the front desk. A few words into what I had to ask, I was interrupted and was told "Hold". After a few minutes my line was disconnected. Not sure if the lady answering was busy but there is simply no excuse to be rude like that. The worst part was when I called again, someone picked up and hung up immediately....so they thought. It turned out the phone didn't hang up all the way and I could hear a couple ladies speaking in the office . One thing I heard really clear was " I gotta get outta here" South Greenville Elementary, if a phone call alone is too much to handle, I wonder how you deal with the children who enrolls there? I never did get through and don't plan on trying to. To the lady who picked up that call, you need to get a different job. Your attitude stinks.

My daughter goes there for pre k and I didn't know what to expect cause I heard different things about all the schools in Pitt county...but I will say I love that school her teacher's are great they do so much with her and she has learn slot there...I live in wintergreen area and me and my husband has decided to move so she can countinue on there love it

My child has been at ridgewood elementary for only 4th-5th grade but she has done so well! And she has told me that she wishes that it went up through college and I think it is amazing and they feed your kids for free and have very good learning and teaching for every grade your child would go to in elementary school so in my experience I think that they have done amazing with my child’s learning

The school is OK. I absolutely feel like my children are safe when they are at school. Our family was very disappointed with class size (31 students in 5th grade this year with only 1 teacher, 25 in kindergarten with only 1 teacher). Class size was too large last year as well and we were hopeful the school would hire additional teachers before this year started. There are good things about the school--safety and good music program are the two that come to mind. It is hard to get past the class sizes for me.

Staff members are very rude and unprofessional
