Blue Ridge Elementary School

Great tight knit community school with smaller class sizes than most places. Awesome teachers! There are always activities going on through the school. Some including, bake sales, multiple fundraisers, educational field trips, sports, an awesome red ribbon spirit week followed by a big fall festival that the kids and adults all love, and so, so much more! The school also provides excellent counseling services for kids with learning disabilities or for kids who just need a little extra help in focusing some days. I moved to this area just to enroll my son into this school, for its teachers, it's still small town traditional school atmosphere where most all the teachers know most of the students by name, even from different grades. They still decorate and celebrate each season and holidays with cute crafts and small snack parties, even a gift exchange. Also the quality of education that he is receiving plays a HUGE role. As a first grader, he's learning stuff I didn't until third grade. The principal is absolutely an amazing, sweet, and kind woman who cares about each kid in her school. But she's also super fair, even towards the kids she knows outside of school. Every single teacher I've met all seem so out going and enthusiastic and you can see joy and real happiness for the job they are doing on their faces. They go out of their way to help any student that needs it. And you can see that they are proud of the school they are working for and the kids they see everyday as they watch them learn more and more. I couldn't ask for a better school for my son to attend until he goes to high school. Moving from the coast to here for this school was the best choice I ever could of made for him!!
