GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

4.0 Freshman

So far I really like Mt. Ridge. I'm a freshman as of now, and I've not had any negative experiences thus far. Students have been friendly, teachers have been nice. They have excellent arts and sports programs. Much better than I anticipated my first year of high school being.

I like the small community and school spirit. It is a beautiful building. There are not many elective choices and class sizes are large. The Math department went through many changes with staff a while back, and many students suffered with lack of consistency and loss of skill.
3.0 Junior

I enjoy Mountain Ridge. There is a very supportive student body, and the teachers are also communicate well with the students. I hope to see a more supportive administration soon however.
