Been here for the last 5 years and i have a Junior High student. Teachers seems to care and they do their best to support students..

I have a 7th grader and i have no complaints.. i just wished they fix the way they do school drop offs

My son was in the emotion disability special education program. It is clear to me that retraining is necessary. I have now moved districts with a significantly better program and this district’s program puts Ridge’s programs to shame. Teachers seem to be under qualified and they do not have enough support staff. This school needs more aides and social workers. They never had a plan to help my son attend regular classrooms and it is clear to me they planned to have him in SPED for the rest of his life. They have trained him that harmful behaviors (which is literally part of his disability) is an immediate ticket home. That does nothing but encourage his behaviors because he did not want to be at school. If my son even did something small like toss a pencil he was sent home. My son’s current and significantly better school has told me multiple times that now they must untrain these behaviors that the school has caused. His current school tells him daily they want him at school, he is loved, and they want him to succeed. When he was asked if his old school (ridge) ever made that clear to him or if he was even told he was wanted he told them no. He said all his teachers hated him.This school should take what I say seriously because the SPED program here is HARMFUL! No student in the program will ever succeed if they continue to run the program this way.
