Pleasant Ridge Elementary
Pleasant Ridge Elementary is proud to be one of 10 Innovation Schools in Gaston County. It is also home to the Gifted and Talented Academy, which offers students a challenging and exciting learning experience.
Providing care for students at school
Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
