Overall my experience at this school is good. Given the area and funds, I feel like they try their best to make the high school experience the best it can be. I would say the school should focus more on being open about resources and opportunities that would make the college application process easier. Having more blocks and AP course options as well would be usefull.

Ridley High School has always been a welcoming place however I have had my issues. There is typically a lot of drama and I have seen/heard of many fights happening, specifically in the last year. The faculty and staff take a lot of pride in our school. The community is very involved but only football is widely cared about.

Students aren't engaged in the learning. Consistent bullying with teacher's doing nothing. No safety precautions at all. So many fights. It's not a great school. The only reason I give it three stars is because the teachers are pretty good.

This school does talk about no bullying but they don’t do anything when told about a bully except talk to them for a few minutes also the school has rats in the lunch room I’ve seen one myself , many of the teachers/workers have favorites and most of the students have drama or feel unsafe.
