Twin Ridge Elementary School

What they do teach they do quite well - my concern is what they DON'T teach !! They need a curriculum coordinator to see that they are keeping up with state standards at the pace needed to cover all the material for state testing.

I must say that I have been absolutely impressed with Twin Ridge. The teachers have been unbelievable, as well as administration. I feel the principal is connected with the kids. I was in the office one day when there was a child who was having trouble swallowing a pill. Our principal sat with this little boy and encouraged him until it was finally down. I was so impressed by her encouragement, sense of humor and patience with this child. I have seen other examples of her compassion and care for these kids. I cannot imagine the day in and day out demands of a position like hers. Twin Ridge is an extremely positive place, my child absolutely loves it and I feel my child is getting a great education. Every school has imrovements to make and challenges to face. I feel Twin Ridge is definitely heading in the right direction.

The teachers are wonderful and the vice principal is very hands on with the children. The principal however is not a 'child' person. She looks down on everyone and is very scary to approach. I am very sad by the path this school is taking since Mr. Storm left. It used to be a very happy environment but it seems more stressful not only for the teachers but for the children. Knowing most of the community, the students feel no connection to her. I feel sad for the principal because she needs to lighten up a bit and realize that these are children and they are not perfect and we should not expect perfection.

I had a child attending this school since 1997 and have seen this school go downhill in almost every aspect since then. There have been some wonderful teachers that my children have had over the years, but they have since moved on to better places as a result of the poor leadership over the years. The state test scores certainly do not reflect the aptitude of children that come from such an affluent community. The teachers have bad moral and certainly reflects on their uninspired performance. They used to have a Renzulli program for enrichment, but no longer exists once again due to the Principal. The school does get high marks from me on safety and discipline. The Principal barely lets them have fun at recess and extra-curricular activities are at a bare minimum.
