Pacific Ridge School prepares students for college and a purposeful life. The teachers all care deeply about their student's success and they have fantastic relationships with each other. The school lacks diversity and school spirit around sports.

I enjoy the small class sizes and the global travel opportunities available at Pacific Ridge. While the size of the student body is smaller than most with approximately 100 students per grade and may limit social opportunities for some students, a unique community is created where all of the students in each respectable grade know everyone.

Pacific Ridge used to be community minded, but the school has taken a turn away from its service learning and purposeful intention mantra and has headed towards STEM. It has little diversity and the tuition has become out of reach for a lot of talented kids. The outcome vs the cost is worth explorin...

As former students we believe that this school is trying to gaslight their students into believing the narrative that staff and administrators believe is “correct” and that only. Anything but what is taught is shut down faster than students can share their viewpoint. Students are taught that individ...
