GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Ridgeway was the best choice I made to further my education and get started on the right track to my career

I would say that it is an alright Highschool. At least from my experiences as a senior, there is a lack of clubs due to the pandemic and the activities there do feel a bit limited. However, there are still some enjoyable classmates, fieldtrips, teachers, and more. I would recommend to anyone interested, though I don't have many options due to this being my only highschool.

There were not enough student activities to meet the needs of all students. Many of the activities i.e. bowling, were mentioned but never launched. I would like to have had a variety of high school activities to choose from. I would have liked to have had activities like the yearbook club, school newspaper, entrepreneurial training, etc.

It's a great school. Went there all 4 years of my high school years. I love this school. Administration is great. The principle and administration knows how to run the school and how to plan fun activities for the students.
