My school is good for the environment it helps. Sure there are issues that all HS environments have, but I've made some great friends and I can't wait to start college!

East ridge was a great school for accelerating your academic career. They had many Advanced placement and Dual credit opportunities while making it easy to secede. The teachers cared about their work and created a environment great for learning.

The special education department struggles to do what is right for the child by hiding things from parents. They are controlled by lawyers which our tax dollars pay for. unfortunately, we know from experience.
