What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, September 27, 2016

We are so happy with Ridgeway School - we have two kids - one in 5th grade and one in 2nd. The teachers and school administrators have been very responsive to any and every query we have had. Ridgeway leads the White Plains elementary school in test scores, but more than that it is a safe nurturing environment for our kids. White Plains operates a 'choice' system so parents can pick which schools are a best fit for their families. In our case it was a clear choice at the time and we are very glad we listened to our guts and went with Ridgeway!! Close Quote
