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.

To begin with, I am a junior at Ridgefield Memorial Highschool. Overall, my experience there has been one full of wonderful memories with my friends. I also believe I am sufficiently prepared for college and beyond. However, I would like to see the school's dress code change, as I believe it to be too strict.

the best part would easily be the lifelong friends I have made in this school. You grow up with the same people and making these relationships are valuable. the people here at Ridgefield have made my life special. the worst thing about the high school would have to be it's infrastructure. The school is very small and there isn't space to do things. the auditorium is old and they just rebuild it he basketball courts because of a flood. I would like to see more money invested in the infrastructure so every student can enjoy this special place.

Although the teachers are great, there is really not that special about this school. There is also a lot of horrible behavior by the students and nothing is done about it.
