School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>4 9/1/2021This school is the best. My main problem with this school is that there are a lot of kids and so it is always very loud. This year they have a new principal and she is just as great as our last one. This school likes to honor kids for good work and encourage the kids that aren''t doing so well, to do better.2 9/20/2010We had a special needs student, we got very little help and the help that was given was not what was best for the child. This child accused my husband of child abuse and the school turned him in and after that all help we recieved became hostile. We are now in a new area and this same child is thriving. I would never recommend this school to anyone and am very glad we moved.Review Sunset Ridge Middle School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
