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 love being a student at Ragsdale; I have so many great teachers who are very helpful and encouraging. I play multiple sports, and although we aren't the best, we have fun. My softball and tennis coach believe in me and teach me so much. One of my favorite things about Ragsdale is the fact that my mom went there also. Knowing that I can follow in her footsteps as a scholar athlete motivates me to work hard.

I'm currently a sophomore at Ragsdale and I don't think you should judge the school based off its students or that they enforce the rules Ragsdale also offers some of the most AP courses in Guilford county as well
