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.

I've gone to Mountain Ridge for all my four years of high school and it truly has been such an amazing experience. The teachers were amazing and I learned so much from them. I got to experience so many different clubs and sports while there. At the end of high school Mountain Ridge has made me so ready for college. I know how to put myself out there and joining clubs even if I'm uncomfortable. I've learned how to become a better student and how to use my resources. Mountain Ridge is truly such an amazing school.

The administration has a focus on success in academics and sports. They do not seem to find value in supporting the arts. The performing arts auditorium is small and in need of many repairs. The football field and indoor courts are extremely well maintained.

A lot of vaping on campus during school hours. Deterring this problem for students seems impossible. Very concerning.

This school has it all for both the student and parents. It’s all there the teachers are exceptional. All one has to do is ask. All three of my kids had educational opportunities to develop for college. One became a chemical engineer who also went on to get her MBA. My second kid got a degree in bio...

I would NEVER Recommend This high school unfortunately it's the one that my son can be bussed too. They do not encourage a student's wellbeing nor mental health.
