I am currently a graduating senior at Ridley High School. I intended Ridley all 4 years and overall have a positive experience. I do feel like I was properly prepared by my teachers and consulers to further my education and I am grateful for the education I was provided.

Ridley wasn't isn't a bad school by any means but it's a rather disconnected school in terms of faculty-to-student. Most members understand students' issues/ troubles. But most aren't going to attempt to understand the worries of the employees/students there are lots of issues .

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.
