Park Ridge Elementary School

Me and my second grader love this school! The staff are wonderful!

the staff were rude to my kid and they say to my kid to shut up and if you kid is level 2 and gets 3 zt for no reason you go back to level 1 and the staff would carry kids to the qr inappropriately and offence to my son he cried cus it hurted him

I do not recommend this school, specifically for kindergartners. My son was so excited to start school and shortly became very clear this was not going to be a good fit. The staff is not very friendly at all. They are not accommodating or welcoming. My son is barely 5 and pretty shy. He came home on the 3rd day of school and told me his teacher was squeezing his hand/arm really hard when he wasn't listening. I am pretty disappointed and upset at how our school experience started. He is being transferred to another school. Just wanted to state my experience for any parents considering kindergarten at this school. Save your time.

i know someone at this school who gets bullied every single day just because they don’t like her. Teachers are always yelling at students and being rude

I am writing this review to share our experience and to warn other families.There was a clear and consistent pattern of my son being pushed aside rather than supported. Instead of receiving appropriate interventions, understanding, or collaboration, he was treated as a problem to be removed rather than a child who needed help. This caused real emotional and educational harm.Exclusion—whether direct or indirect—is not support. When a school disengages from a student because their needs are challenging, that is not a solution; it is a failure of responsibility. In our case, it felt like the school chose the easiest path instead of doing the harder work of supporting a struggling student.Because of how this was handled, my son will not be returning. No child should ever be made to feel discarded when they are struggling, and no family should have to experience the lack of support and follow-through that we did.I am leaving this review to ensure there is a public record of what occurred and the impact it had on our family. Accountability matters, and I will be taking this concern higher. This school failed my son

This is not a truly Catholic school and not a classical education.Unfortunately this school has a reputation of not treating Catholic families or children like Christians and they have succumbed to a public school education, wrapped in a cross on the building. I would not recommend this school at all and sadly it’s nothing like it was with the reviles principal and priest. Shameful.
