The best thing about ridge view is our sport program and student activities program. We have a lot of school sport so it makes it fun. The worst thing about Ridge view is our safety people bring vapes and smoke weed in class rooms and bathroom also there are a lot of fights, at least twice a week.

I feel as though Ridge View High has a relative balance between both their academics and school life. Although some teachers could be better with their methods of teaching overall I think that the experience is helpful. You can also expect to be thoroughly prepared for the college experience after leaving the high school with the programs the school has to offer. So I would say Ridge View High is a pretty good school.

Worst school my child has ever attended

This school is infested with gangs which the school is well aware of but does nothing about!
