Cedar Ridge Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the Surry County Schools district, with consistently high mathematics proficiency rates across grades 3-5 that exceed the district and state averages.

In 5th-grade science, the school's proficiency rate is higher than the district and state averages.

The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, it also has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 72.8%, suggesting a relatively low-income student population that may require additional resources and support to address their unique challenges. Overall, Cedar Ridge Elementary appears to be a strong-performing school, but may need to focus on improving early reading proficiency and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
