"Now, I am going to start off by saying that I have just graduated from this school. I will start off with teachers. They are very professional and know a lot about what they are teaching. All three years, my science teachers were actually well trained, with my 8th grade science teacher actually being a scientist (She worked in labs, etc.). All teachers went to college for what they are teaching. I would like to say that my 8th grade teachers really helped me develop both in maturity and emotionally. Some teachers are very strict. Next, classes- The classes are pretty simple, with tests making up most of your grade, so if you don't study or pay attention, you will not do well. The reason most students don't do well is because they don't care. They don't put in any effort. But I will say that it was very easy for me to get straight A's. Textbooks are pretty new, but they need to replace Social Studies books (Really bad condition) Clubs- There are many, such as a array of different bands, sports, drama, environmental, book clubs, etc. Students are why I only gave this school 4 stars. They are rude and only care about themselves.. Bullying is a huge problem here."

"Love the school. They have accelerated classes available and try hard to meet each child's individual needs. The teachers are attentive and do not hesitate to call me if there is a concern. There have been no problems at all and the children all have different friends, sports or clubs they are involved with. My children have flourished here and I am very happy with the teachers, classes and extracurricular activities offered."

"My son is a 7th grade student at Timber Ridge. I have been extremely happy with his education and all of his teachers thus far. While he knows kids that get into trouble and have not excelled at this school, I do believe each child can only make that decision for themselves. And we as parents need to keep them on track and be involved in their lives. My husband has talked about moving but I have two younger children and will want to wait to move until they go thru this school as with their excellent elementary school!"
