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.

Coal Ridge was a wonderful experience, I made many friends and had some amazing academic opportunities. Although it was smaller than most surrounding schools and our football team never won any games, It gave me so many experiences that I will forever be grateful for. I had so many opportunites to find colleges that would work for me, and many advanced classes that taught me so much, its an amzing school and I highly reccomend.

I like the smaller size of the school and connections it creates. I also love the four day school week it uses.

The only highlight I can offer is Mr. South. He was supportive, engaging, and helpful.

My experience is not that good I wish I would have transferred to a different school who would be more help to my personal life and my school life.
