Pusch Ridge English classes prepare students for college level English classes. The homework load that Pusch Ridge assigns also prepares for college level courses. But there is not much exposure to the real world and how it works, leaving students a little bit shocked.

Pusch Ridge has not only brought me strong friendships and relationships with teachers, but it also strengthened my faith in God and made me into a stronger person and Christian. Because it is a smaller school, I got to know almost everyone and really make an impact on those around me. It gave me opportunities to lead my soccer team, NHS, Leadership class, and in different clubs.

We have been in the Pusch Ridge community for almost 10 years. 3 of our children gone to PRCA. One of our children struggled academically at PRCA but we have found PRCA to have prepared them for the rigors of college. Each one of my children have felt loved and challenged at the same time. The faculty are sincerely interested in the lives of the students. It's not uncommon for teachers to become life mentors to students. The best decision we made as a family was to send our children to Pusch Ridge. Is PRCA perfect? No. Is PRCA an amazing school and community? YES!!!!

Not good. I transferred from a public charter to Pusch in 8th grade, and, at first it was ok, but as the year wore on, I became very unimpressed. Unless you are a naturally outgoing person, it is very hard to make friends. The staff are hypocrites. All of the middle school teachers are either first...
