Coyote Ridge Elementary School

Posted May 28, 2009

I have had only positive dealings with Coyote Ridge. I have had two daughters in the school. At first my 5th grader who just moved into the school had some adjustment problems with the teacher, but the teacher honed in on my daughters strengths (language arts and reading) and they became very good friends. My second daughter has been at the school since 2nd grade. she is very gifted and has been stimulated, challenged, encouraged and nurtured by the teachers at Coyote Ridge. I will admit some years had more fun activities provided and i don't like the halloween policy. Let kids be kids and let those who don't believe in dress up do someother library activity, but i cannot say anything negative about the education my daughters have received.

I am quite surprised at the recent negative ratings for Coyote Ridge. Our first grade son transferred from a school in Louisville after Kindergarten and his experience has been extremely positive. In Kindergarten, his teacher decided that his 'leadership qualities' weren't beneficial to her style of teaching and alienated him from the class. His first month at Coyote Ridge, he was Coyote of the Month. He wanted to invite his teacher, Mrs. Muller, to his birthday party, and now absolutely loves reading. He even received a hand written note from the principal mailed to our house a few weeks ago commenting on a story that he had written. It was definitely a pleasant surprise.

If you want to prepare your children very early for the rat-race this is the school for you. If you actually want your children to enjoy the learning experience and feel positive about school then look elsewhere! I agree with the reviews on the Principal She is very nice, however seriously lacks in creating a positive learning atmosphere. My son was in this school from k-5th grade and starting at 3rd grade my son hated school. The kids are not allowed to sit with their friends from other classes at lunch, they can't dress up for Halloween, and I just found out (and am absolutely appalled that there will be no graduation ceremony or send off from 5th grade.) This school is all about CSAP's not about the happiness of the children. I am a firm believer that if you enjoy your atmosphere learning is enjoyable. Find a different school!

The school is not very good. I blame the principal, she is awful. She is sugary sweet on the surface but does nothing to accomodate the needs of the children at the school. She creates a negative atmospere between parents and teachers. She continues to bring back and hire mediocre teachers. I'm desparately trying to remove my children from this school...
