Overall Ridgeway High School has gave me the best experience ever since i was a freshman up to now. A lot of things can change based on the fun of it and how they operate things but i love the school as a whole. The teachers make everything worth it, I've had some of the best teachers ever.

Ridgeway is not bad. I like it here but at the same time I don't. I feel like it could be better with better funding and more open mindedness. Some of the teachers are very good teacher with great personalities. The activities are fun sometimes but I feel like because of funding they are limited. The worst part of my experience is the lack of activities and the best is the people that I met here. I would like to see more people excited to come to school and have fun at school.

Within all of the years I have been at Ridgeway High School I am proud to say I have enjoyed my experience. Every year I receive excellent teachers that care about the education of their students. Our teachers make sure we are on track for college and they teach us on a college level as well. I am an IB student that takes art and is the captain of the majorette team while being a member of the tennis team and I love every part about being involved in those activities, but the part that I love the most is that it is teaching me time management. Our principal cares about all of the students and he try to make the students dreams within the school come true.

Overall, not terrible, however one day there were two kids fighting and one guy just levitated and incinerated the principal and then the whole school exploded. 2/10

This school is quite literally the epitome of completely and utter trash

It's a great school. Went there all 4 years of my high school years. I love this school. Administration is great. The principle and administration knows how to run the school and how to plan fun activities for the students.
