School Overview

Pine Ridge Elementary sits in the small mountain community of Magalia, a quiet, wooded enclave in the Sierra Nevada foothills above Paradise. Families here tend to be deeply rooted in the area and value the tight-knit feel that comes with a smaller rural school, and the science scores show some real bright spots for a school still navigating recovery in a community that has faced significant challenges since the 2018 Camp Fire. For families who've chosen to rebuild and stay in this part of Butte County, Pine Ridge offers a sense of continuity and community that goes well beyond any ranking.
