Middle Ridge Elementary School

After reading the other comments left on this website, I wholeheartly disagree. I have never had an issues with staff and I do not know about you but if a staff memeber is "rude" about letting a parent in or allowing pick up then I always want a "rude" staff member at the front desk! SECURITY IS EVERYTHING!!! You can't expect someone to just "let you in" based off the fact you say you have a child that attends, you have to prove it. Good on them, I applaud the staff for keeping all of our children safe!I digress, As a parent with a special needs child you can expect for us to be on extreme alert when it comes to the placement of our children, considering majority of children with special needs have delayed speech and can't tell us if something is wrong. With that being said, when my child is excited to go to school and is in absolute awe with the teacher, this tells me I do not need to worry. My child has advanced since attending this school in the following areas: speech, patience, playing well with others, manners, can recognize names of items, the list goes on!!!! I am excited what the rest of her time here holds!Grade: Special Needs Pre-K

While the school was fantastic in previous years, recent changes in faculty have left the school in a very poor state. The teachers are ill equipped and ill trained for managing a classroom. Teachers have been caught repeatedly insulting students, yelling at them, and my student is now afraid to go to school because of the teachers. Poor communication has been the norm, but even when meetings happen issues are not resolved. Learning support and feedback in the classroom have become sparse to non-existent. It's a shame to see what this one great school has become. For people familiar with the movie Matilda, what used to be Ms. Honeywell has become Ms. Trunchbull. Sparse classrooms, hostile teachers, with a focus on silent obedience over learning.

This school is one I am looking at for my child to attend in the next year. I am hoping they offer a good environment seeing as we are moving due to my employer. I am hoping to have my child attend school in the Conyers GA area. We are moving from NY and we are hoping the teaching is comparable to where we came from. We are moving from Rochester NY and our child is attending one of the best districts in the country.

A complete waste of time and money! The teachers are not certified! The owners/principal tell you what you wish to hear. There' also a tanning bed that they allow students to use- unsanitary! Horrible school!
