We are the Eagles
The Prairie Ridge Community commits to providing a safe, nurturing environment that prepares well-rounded, global citizens.
Academic Excellence
At Prairie Ridge, students thrive through rigorous, standards-based instruction that supports deep academic growth and long-term success. Our commitment to high expectations is evident in our accelerated math pathways, which prepare students to enter middle school ready for 7th or even 8th grade math. We also equip learners with innovative tools like Thinking Maps to help them organize their thinking, strengthen their writing, and become confident, independent problem-solvers.
Extraordinary Opportunities
Prairie Ridge offers a wide range of extraordinary opportunities that inspire growth, creativity, and leadership. From academic enrichment to hands-on experiences, students are encouraged to explore their interests and develop new skills. Programs like Robotics, Choir, Student Council, and Safety Patrol allow students to shine in and out of the classroom. Whether competing, performing, or leading school initiatives, our students rise to the challenge—reflecting our school’s deep commitment to their success and personal growth.
Parent Involvement
Prairie Ridge is proud to have an outstanding parent community that plays an active role in supporting our students and staff. Families volunteer in classrooms, assist with special projects, join field trips, and help make class events memorable. Our dedicated PTO enhances the school experience by sponsoring events like the Family Carnival, Holiday Shop, and Fun Run, as well as showing appreciation for staff through breakfasts on late-start days, Staff Appreciation Week, and more throughout the year. Together, we create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels connected and valued.
