The whole chain in broken. My daughter has been at this school since August bc of zoning. They amount of bullying my daughter has endured. Is insane. They don't document any incidents. The teachers are instigators. I have reported different events many times for my concerned to be taken in and ignored. I recently met w the principal and resource officer and still have yet to hear back from Dr Holloman. I don't expect anything less. The beginning of the year open house she decided to tell us our kids were liars and to believe half of what they say. This is the principals thoughts. I am currently working very hard after the death of my husband, their dad. To move into a zone where thisnisnt her school. It's hard to make your kid get up and go somewhere they feel they are being abused! But the law says she has to attend 180 w no one to make her feel safe. Shout out to Ms Williams and Ms Smith along w Mrs Dowdy. They are the only ppl my daughter has and they aren't any of who should be there to make my daughter feel safe. My opinion. But I have plenty to back my opinion up. And my student is a AB student still even though she cries every morning and night thinking of returning to this so called school.

This school sets the bar with having one of the best administrations in the surrounding area. Ms. Dimmler and Mr. Coleman are passionate leaders at their school and it shows in the morale of their teachers and students. Teachers are blessed to work with such supportive and energized Principals, and the students get to witness every day what it is to live by the GOLD standard. Life is all about leading by example and the staff here certainly does the job.

My daughter loves this school! She says her teachers really work hard to develop caring trusting relationships with the students. At Pine Ridge the motto is Go for Gold by being the best person you can be, setting good examples for others, and always using great manners!

Pine Ridge Middle School is a place that is like no other. Staff at this school go above and beyond the call of teaching. Pine Ridge has turned many corners in a very short period of time in academics, athletics and the arts. With an award winning academic challenge team, honor guard, student council, various sport activities, clubs and organizations this school is not only focused on learning but also building productive citizens. The school hosts a variety of parent-involved workshops to make parents active in their students' successes. Pine Ridge is a great place to work and to also teach students. Being a PBIS school and Palmetto Silver award winning school, students are at the center of all of the goals of Pine Ridge.

I went to this school and this was my last year, it was the most amazing years, the teachers are supportive, and they really show they car. Since the assistant principle Dawn Dimmler came in it especially got to me. She's amazing, and at that school they do anything they can to help. I love that s school !
