    "I have gone to South since Kindergarden. I have enjoyed watching South grow and become an IB school. I have been able to grow and learn at my own pace. I love the teachers and their teaching styles. I have had the ability to be in all the highest groups since 2nd grade. I have really enjoyed South's anti-bullying policy. I have never had a bullying problem, only girl drama, but that's life. Overall, I love South and always will. Go to South, it will be one of the greatest things you could dofor your child!"

    "We built a home here two years ago and I read some of the negative reviews about South, but saw that they were an IB (International Baccalaureate) school which peaked my curiosity. Since I believe in neighborhood schools and love the IB philosophy, I thought we would give it a try. What I found was a diverse population, a dedicated and passionate staff and a community of families that work together for their kids. This school is a legacy school, where 2 and 3 generations of Castle Rock citizens have gone. The school has character and history, something rare for the new buildings in Douglas County, and a pretty location near Memmen Ridge Open Space. They have recently renamed the school to fit their new philosophy (South Ridge Elementary, an IB World School), and are in the midst of a school garden project, a re-flooring project (over the summer), and a playground renovation. I would like to see more parent involvement, but there is a diverse and approachable PTA that works collaboratively with the staff. Go in, meet the principal and take a peek for yourself."

    "South has been a wonderful school for our family. The teachers and staff have been amazing and very dedicated to the students growth. The IB curriculum really encourages the children to stretch their thinking outside of the box and go above and beyond. The school is supported by a wonderful PTCO. The playground equipment is in need of an update, which is in the works, and the parking situation is a bit of a hassle, but worth it when you see your child truly enjoy school."

    "This school is impressive as it has high caliber teachers and such a personable staff! They teach the kids a world view perspective on how they impact the world through their choices and use technology to adequately prepare them for the real world! My child has a unique learning style and his teachers are always willing to accommodate him so he can learn the way he does best! Since he is a "wiz" on a SMART Board and on an IPad, his teachers allow these devices to assist him to express his knowledge of how our world works. The Parent Teacher Organization is also a nice group of people who put on some really nice events throughout the year in order to bring our school community together. We came from a highly rated, affluent school up in the Cherry Creek School District 4 years ago and this school is such a better experience for my child (e.g. the former school had bullying and kids with no manners and a sense of entitlement). The review previous to mine is baffling, as I see so many positive benefits for my child at this school from compassionate, skilled teachers to an approachable & accommodating Principal that it's really hard to see how that person could have that perspective."

    "Run from this school. My kids went here for 1 year, and the other two for 1.5. We moved from a rural area, and that school was great. My oldest tested 3 times and was above average. When I told the teacher this,he didn't believe me. He never scheduled one parent teacher confrence, despite my constant requests for them. When I stopped by at the end of the day, he said he, "didn't have time for this." My kids grades went from straight A's to C's and D's. The bullies rule this school. Not the teachers. With my other 2 kids, they were being taught and tested on Spanish. In second grade. Let these kids be able to read and write in English first. Then when they get that, then throw a new one in there. Every day when I would pick up my kids, they would be in tears. Every Day. Thanks Goodness I found a better place for them all. Avoid This School At All Costs!!!"
