As a parent, it's refreshing to have your child attend a school where the principal and teachers work together to ensure your child is continually challenged... Timber Ridge is such a school. They are flexible, thoughtful and eager to do the right things for our children. Great communication from the school and the PTO is very active with programs that are meaningful and effective.
