Our Story

Park Ridge Elementary School opened in 1995 as one of three elementary schools built to accommodate growth in Nampa. We highlight the district’s commitment to build neighborhood schools, where children can walk or ride their bikes to school. And since opening, the farmland around our school in northeast Nampa has developed into residential tracts.

As our city’s population continued to grow during the past decade, Park Ridge and three other schools became “year round” schools and more classrooms were added to our building and others in the district.

This fall, the district opened the new Endeavor Elementary School, which reduced our student body and allowed all our schools to operate with the same traditional schedule.

Park Ridge is a welcoming, caring place where students in grades K-5 master the essential skills in preparation for a lifetime of learning. Our students also learn the building blocks of science, social studies, citizenship, and health complimented by art, music, and physical education in a comprehensive curriculum.

We are dedicated to the success of all children in our school. To achieve this goal, we focus on the individual student and tailor our instruction to meet their needs.
