We came from abroad and moved to Apex. We were lucky our daughter got to go to such a great school.
She was really supported on her adaptation process and thrived from the scholastic point of view.
Great school with an excellent staff.

I went to Scotts Ridge from 3rd grade to 5th grade and my experience was horrible, I was in a dark place. (I know it sounds crazy for someone that young, but just listen.) I say my experience was horrible simply because of MY actions, I was supported the entire time by the staff, even though I was a handful. Please send your child here, they will learn very valuable lessons, and enjoy their time. Please do not take my "horrible experience" as an experience because of the staff, I loved my teachers, and the curriculum was iffy, but I got through it. I am now an 8th grader, and am living my best life. Thank you.
