Ridgeway
Lolo, MT

Most teachers are amazing! School itself is old and in a horrible location. If I needed to go to the nurse’s office immediately from the middle school building, I would need to climb two flights of stairs first. Also, building is right on the highway. School is somewhat clean but has frequent issues with ants. Curriculum is boring. Has an okay-ish special-ed program. Not much diversity either.

Two students through this school. Spread apart several years. The first child before this admin excelled. School had great teachers, grading system that was clear, had more discipline in the classes, homework but not too much. By the time my second child came into school it changed. I do not believe my child will be prepared in any manner for what faces them in high school. We will be moving from the area before my third child enters into Lolo. I will not put another child through this school. I know several parents who feel the same as I do, and worse, many students who believe their school has failed them from academics to extracurricular. To add, the school's problems have nothing to do with the inability to pass a bond that would build a new school for K-4. Separating kids will only add to the problems families have with getting their kids to and from school because of a lack of a bus system.
