Since I switched from Brookfield High School to Ridgefield High School, I absolutely loved it. The students and teachers are very welcoming and intelligent, I'm very comfortable in the school, the cafeteria is very spacious, and most importantly, I feel smart being in school. Most teachers empathize for the students and will help out if needed, and I never feel too restricted in any way.

Overall, Ridgefield High School is a very nice school. Ridgefield High School is very much oriented toward supporting the emotional well-being of students.

I graduated from Ridgefield High School around 7 years ago and the experience that had during my time there was wonderful. The faculty and staff members were such an important part of my experience there as they were so helpful and pushed me to become a better, smarter person.
