Porter Ridge High School

Our daughter is a first grader at Hemby Bridge, and I have only the best things to say about this school. The teachers are superb, kind and communicative. The principal is incredible, she knows every child and sends voicemails and emails to parents each week. My daughter was reading chapter books on her own by the end of kindergarten last year and continues to progress in every element of her learning. My only critique is that the facilities are outdated, but that’s a small thing when it means my daughter loves school, feels supported and continues to learn and progress so much.

We love Sardis because: -We've had 3 excellent, A+ teachers in a row, who all did a great job of pushing my child academically while keeping school FUN. -I have a 2nd grader, and each grade has gotten a little more rigorous. 2nd grade is no joke here! My child is on track to being prepared for 3rd grade standards and tests next year. -I love that the PTA does fund raisers and other activities, because they're working actively toward improving MY child's school experience! I gladly contribute what/when I can. I am so thankful for an active PTA. -I love the way principal is visible and interacting with students many mornings during car line. She has such a kind, calm vibe. -I am ALWAYS kept informed, never in the dark, about school happenings through phone messages and newsletters. -The elective teachers rock! They take their jobs seriously, and come up with some great activities for the kids. -We love our bus driver, who is stern but kind. She tolerates no nonsense and keeps the kids safe. -You would NEVER guess this is a Title I school from walking down the halls. From the beautiful artwork to the happy hum of lots of kids ENJOYING learning - this school is TOP NOTCH!!!!!!

Great school. I see improvement in my kid academics
