It’s a great school for my child beacuse she has learned so much from the teachers and loves it

Love SunRidge, the Director, teachers and staff for all of the love and care they provide in making our children better citizens of the world in this public Waldorf school. They nurture their artistic skills and adapt to their learning needs.

A devoted staff at every level. Children feel cared about and a family feeling is palpable. Beautiful, natural surroundings provide a sense of serenity and expansiveness. Highly recommend!

My child was relentlessly bullied here. He wound up getting a concussion. We never really recovered as a family.

We love Park Side! My child is thriving here, academically and socially. We love the drama program they offer as an after school club, as well as the garden class they get during the week. My child is learning so much, and loves coming to school everyday!

Overall it’s a decent school for learning and the teachers are nice it’s just very bare minimum. School plays and events are done during school hours while parents and families are at work etc so it’s nearly impossible for people to make it without having to leave work. That also cuts into the kids learning time and educational priorities. There were only a few field trips and one of them was a trip to the park so I’m not sure if it’s due to budgeting or low funds. There’s little to no parking. Trying to come in and out of the school is really hard and there’s no nearby public parking due to the road ways. I don’t see any developments done to the school or any plans to fix the parking lot issue. My biggest issue with this school is the family activities, they are always done during school hours when parents are at work so I don’t see how that encourages family activities when most families can’t make it. Some fields trips we were notified that only a selected group of parents could attend. Talents shows, plays, conferences, open houses, etc in my opinion should be conducted after regular school hours. Everything is crammed and rushed and organized very poorly.
