The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Though Ridgeview did provide me valuable public speaking skills and the ability to craft a sound essay, the workload went far above what should have been expected. It was an arduous four years. The Ridgeview experience should be undertaken by students who want to study through high school and have time to do little else.

Ridgeview offers a well balanced and rigorous education. When I applied to college, I found that colleges took my application more seriously because I had come from Ridgeview. I am certain that my Ridgeview education is the reason I was able to participate in my college's honors program and take advantage of a full-ride scholarship.

Absolutely terrible experience at Ridgeview Classical School. The leadership under Principal Anderson is shockingly bad — the environment feels cold, unwelcoming, and frankly, outdated in the worst ways. Teachers are disorganized and seem completely unprepared, leaving students confused and behind c...
