Summary

Ridgemoor Park Montessori is an elementary school located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 144 students. The school is part of the Grand Rapids Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ridgemoor Park Montessori consistently outperforms the Grand Rapids Public Schools district and the state of Michigan in standardized test scores across various grade levels and subjects. In the 2024-2025 school year, 44% of 3rd graders at Ridgemoor Park Montessori were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 19.6% for the district and 38.9% for the state. In Math, 32% of 3rd graders at the school were proficient or better, compared to 19.6% for the district and 42.7% for the state. The school's performance in Science and Social Studies is also notably higher than the district and state averages. However, Ridgemoor Park Montessori has experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 42.0% over the past few years, which is an area of concern.

When compared to nearby schools, Ridgemoor Park Montessori stands out as a relatively high-performing school within the Grand Rapids Public Schools district. The school spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to some of the nearby schools, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, the nearby schools in the East Grand Rapids Public Schools district, such as Wealthy School, Breton Downs School, and Lakeside School, demonstrate even stronger academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
