Overall since I have been here at ridgeview high school sinse 2022, it has been a great place to be. Never been the school to be filled with drama or much fighting, it always gave me a sense of ease because the vibes were mostly good. The teachers here are pretty good , they teach material very well. The counselors here are amazing and are always willing to help. I will graduate as a proud wolf. GO WOLFPACK
