    "I stopped by mid day to drop off something for my son. I was devastated when I saw what was happening at recess. I saw several children fighting in the kindergarten class, literally punching each other, kicking, pushing each other down on the ground. As much as I yelled over the chain link fence for them to stop punching a boy, no one stopped. The only thing that ended it was the fact that the bell rang. I ran inside and notified the staff, and my husband called the police. When I went back out, literally minutes later, the next class, 1st and 2nd graders were fighting even worse in the back corner of the field. In BOTH instances, there were NO TEACHERS, and NO SUPERVISION. The kids again, kicking, punching, one kid was sitting on another child's chest, his arms pinned down by his sides. He was in a head lock with someones arm across his neck, and the being punched in the back of the head. I was screaming and pleading with the children to stop. I tried scaling the fence. It was out of control. More or less when I demanded a meeting with the principal, she completely down played it, saying she didn't see anyone hurt, and no one admitted to it. I am withdrawing my son."

    "I was concerned about sending my kids to South Ridge because of the low test scores, and the horrible school website- the look is so outdated, and the information doesn't seem to be consistently current. The website is awkward and ugly. I worried they wouldn't be using or teaching with much technology. I was pleasantly surprised by the use of SmartBoards, iPads, laptops, and technology in general. After our initial hesitation, we are very pleased with South Ridge."

    "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!"

    "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."

    "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."
