Such an excellent school. From the school culture to the staff efforts and student achievement I am so happy my daughter is graduating from here this year. Homework does not equivalate to achievement. My daughter does not bring home homework in the 8th grade. But she does independent-level practice via the Lexia app to improve reading and Aleks for math help. My daughter is a straight-A student and I owe it to Ridge Street! Thanks for everything <3

I have been to the school,and i know that they definately do give work. It is most likely that your son just doesnt want to do homework and is lying to you. Check with his teachers, ask for progress report, and check the papers you sign, because if they are hidden, or he doesnt explain them, they are probably important paters, like report cards, or progress reports.

This is the best school I have ever attended. The prinicpal knows every student by name! He is kind not to mention the staff. I don't remember a time I was happier then when I was in Ridge Street. They took us in lots of trips and they provided a good academic programs. I would recommend this school to anyone!

I still don't know how his school rating is so high. My son is in the 8th grade and he hardly bring homework to the house. He alsways bring the same homework 1 or 2 exercises to finish from the math class and sometimes a paragraph to write for the writing class. I haven't seeing him reading or doing anything else. My daughter is on the 2nd grade in another school and have more homework than him. I am very disapointed. Will l what are they teaching him during the day? .
