Summit Ridge Middle School

Stony Creek has been wonderful for us. We started here during the pandemic and had to hope it would be okay as we couldn’t visit in person at the time. As a neighborhood school there are some trade offs as far as extra curricular activities, but the ones they do have my kids enjoy very much- like choir and some of the groups. I wish they offered foreign language classes. But what it lacks in “extras” it makes up for by the closeness and caring of the staff and teachers. I feel like most everyone working there knows my kids by name, my kids never say they don’t want to go in the mornings and when I ask around enrollment time if they’d want to go anywhere else my kids give me a kind of horrified look that let’s me know they really love it at Stony Creek. We are lucky to have this school in our neighborhood.

Great school overall. As is likely in any school, there are a few bad apple teachers that you have to be cautious of. As other has mentioned, PTA is definitely cliquey so it is harder as a parent to fit in when you’re not part of the “in crowd.”

Very little help from the teachers. Bullying is not just in student levels but also from the principal and the admin people. Don't put your kids here

There were ups and downs in this school, but after I saw how this school dealt with bullying we decided to leave. My kiddo after that was afraid to talk about anything that happened in school "Please don't tell the principal anything!". That is not how I imagine the school administration should handle issues. A lot of great teachers I appreciate for support though, they have great attitudes towards academic success. Unfortunately, it's not enough for young kids.

Wonderful staff, individualized education, and safe environment
