- **4/5** — Some ups and downs...: We've had a good experience overall, but our child has had some difficulties with the class sizes and the amount of work they're expected to do. The teachers are generally good, but we feel that they could use some more support. *(Oct 2021)*
- **5/5** — A gem of a school!: We sent our two children to The Ryde School and they thrived under the care of the teachers.
