I really enjoyed the dance program. I think that the music and arts program of Cypress Ridge is very exciting and hosts many opportunities for its students. However, I am not very fond of the culture. During my time, there were many fights and brawls at this school. Often, students would even get arrested for having minor drugs with them. Though, at the end of the day, it is high school.

With the 3 years going on 4 with ridge it has been the most memorable years I could ask for, ranging from the friends I've made to the resources they provide to succeed in life. I've play tennis for 3 going on 4 and the coach really has a passion to not only better our playing skills but life as well. I've seen such unity in classes, because I personally experienced it we have so much fun with learning we learn school doesn't always have to suck. Great experiences

I transferred here my senior year and it has much to offer depending on how much work you are willing to put. I was in all AP classes and yes was a bit challenging. I don't see why others think this school is bad. Success and misbehavior is what parents need to take care of not the teachers. Show yo...
