I have 2 school age children that attend Green Ridge Elementary School and couldn't be happier. The staff is absolutely amazing in every way. The teachers and principal are always available for whatever reason. The school nurse is caring and goes beyond the call of duty with these children. She is absolutely amazing as my children have some medical needs that any mother would worry about when her child is away from home. The classroom sizes are more than appropriate and I feel each child gets one on one attention whenever the need is there. They are given many opportunities in different areas to excel as the Phys. Ed, Music, Library, Computer and Art programs are fantastic. My children love their school as do I and can't say enough about how wonderful Green Ridge Elementary School is!!! Close Quote
