School Reviews
| 4 My child had an outstanding second grade experience with Ms. Carlson. When he entered her classroom he was shy and struggling in reading. She worked hard and built his confidence. He is a happy, outgoing boy who loves to read! - Posted by Parent - Pleased parent |
| 2 Coyote Ridge is not the brightest school there is. It used to be an amazing school until they really started to change their ways. The teachers use a unprofessional behavior. They seem like they don't know what their doing for the most part. There is no communication in this school, which causes a lot of problems. I would no longer recommend this school. It seems as if the staff don't care like how they used to. I would give this school a one star our of 10 stars. Good luck with making it out of Coyote Ridge. - Posted by Student/Alumni - 8belo |
