Bullying is not dealt with by most teachers, food is below average, the diversity between on-level and advanced is very poor, but the diversity of the whole school is good in general.

The teachers at Ridgeview really cared about the students. They gave it their all when they taught their class. Unfortunately, most of the students in the "on level"classes did not care about school. Most of the class time was spent dealing with disruptive students. The music departments were incredible, as well as the sports programs.
