    emerald ridge is honestly the worst high school in the Puyallup school district, I personally would…read morenever send my kid here, they have no respect for you as a person, they expect you to make school your entire life. All the security guards and office staff are so focused on getting kids in trouble, and they never bother to help you even if you ask for help. The staff makes the school dreadful, and so many kids don't go to school just cause of the way they treat them. Wouldn't recommend.

    0 fucking stars, this school is the biggest piece of shit that i have ever seen in my lifetime,…read morebiggest waste of space to ever be put on this floating rock, the security staff are SO SO SO narcissistic and genuinely dumb in every way possible, currently at the time of this review there is ONE men's bathroom open, with over 1000 students, that is ridiculous, the security is so rude and they assume everything out of everyone, and this school uses all of their resources to catch kids vaping/smoking in the bathrooms, instead of trying to help kids that need help, this school is genuinely the worst school that i have EVER attended or seen anywhere, some of the teachers are nice and understanding but the majority of them will not let you use the bathroom, or will not let you use your phone for an emergency, all of the staff at this school is corrupt with power and needs to be dealt with, fix your fucking bathrooms er..

    I toured this school with my son and was initially drawn in by the welcoming environment, the…read morefaith-based values, and the kindness of the teacher we met. The enrollment process itself was straightforward. Unfortunately, our experience after enrollment raised concerns for me regarding staff training, classroom management, communication with parents, and the unenrollment process. My son had recently experienced an abrupt transition from a daycare he loved, and he had only been enrolled for a couple of weeks when his teacher pulled me aside at pickup and said, "He was doing a phenomenal job listening the first week or so, and now he's just not listening. Is there something going on at home?" I was surprised that the first explanation offered was something happening outside of school rather than examining what might be contributing to the behavior within the classroom environment. At the time, my son had no history of behavioral issues, and I believed he was still adjusting to a major transition. I also suspected he may have been under-stimulated. I suggested that when he appeared disengaged, he might benefit from being redirected toward a task or activity. Compounding my concern was the fact that another child had repeatedly been aggressive toward my son, including incidents of physical hitting. We brought these concerns to the school's attention, but the behavior continued, leaving me feeling that the situation was not being adequately monitored or addressed. After discussing the situation with educators from other preschool programs, I learned that many early childhood professionals first evaluate classroom dynamics, developmental needs, peer interactions, and environmental factors before assuming challenges originate at home. That perspective aligned more closely with my own understanding of child development. Ultimately, I decided not to keep my son enrolled through kindergarten and informed the school of my decision. What followed was the most disappointing part of the experience. Shortly after notifying the school, I received multiple calls encouraging me to keep my child enrolled. During one conversation, I was told that withdrawing him could result in being responsible for 20% of future kindergarten tuition because staffing decisions had already been made. When I expressed surprise, I was told, "This is a business, and we hired accordingly." While I understand that schools must plan financially, the conversation felt focused on retaining revenue rather than understanding the concerns that led to our decision. For an organization that places a strong emphasis on faith and community, I left feeling that financial considerations were prioritized over family experience. Every family's experience will be different, but ours ultimately left us feeling unheard. We are confident there are many excellent educational options available, and we are grateful to have found a different path for our son.

    Love this private Christian school. My oldest has been attending since 1st grade, my middle child…read morebegan pre K this year, the staff is wonderful. Love how personable it is as it's a smaller campus at this moment, and Rhonda the administrator is the best. Principal Lorenz is also wonderful. All around great school. Happy to have my children attend, we plan to stick around for a long while.
