Nothing wrong with school or teacher or kids. One of the greatest ways for parents to help their children learn English is by attempting to learn English themselves. When parents are able to use English at home, more opportunities will arise for children to practice speaking and listening. Parents and children practicing their new skills together can be a great motivator.Even parents who are fluent in English can demonstrate the importance of learning by focusing on an area of improvement, such as studying a difficult novel to learn complex vocabulary or bettering their writing skills.

Very disappointed in Park Ridge Elementary. We have since moved to a new school district, and our children are behind academically and working to catch up.
The students frequently have "indoor recess" and do not get adequate opportunities for physical activity. Students are ignored by lunchroom staff, who are looking at their phones. I believe most of the teachers are sufficiently trained and well intentioned, but my interactions with the principle were defensive and unproductive. Communication from teachers and administrators was lacking. Important school policies were changed without informing parents.
I believe homework was appropriate and they made good use of educational apps in math and reading.
If your child is quiet and well behaved, they will most likely be ignored. If your child is deemed to have a "behavior issue", the school has no plan for consistent and appropriate discipline. These were my experiences. I sincerely hope that things change for the better. If you have a choice, I would not recommend sending your children to Park Ridge.

We are very happy with this school. We have had the most wonderful experiences with Ms. Peterson a third grade teacher. She inspires the students to love learning.

This is an amazing school. The teachers and staff go above and beyond the call of duty for your child. If your child has special needs they will do everything they can to help.
