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.

In the past 4 years that I have gone to Ridgefield Park High School, it has been the best 4 years ever. I have had amazing teachers and mentors to guide me to the right path. Even when I was struggling in school, all my teachers have gone above and beyond to get me back on track. They are super caring and the environment at Ridgefield Park High School is amazing. I always feel super safe and never judged.

I learned how to connect with others and learned more about who I am as a person. The best part about going to this school is that I had the ability to relate to others in numerous ways. Overall it taught me how to become outgoing while staying genuine. If I can recall a bad experience, I would say junior was stressful due to state testing, SAT prep, and balancing my extracurriculars. One thing I would like to see change is a more flexible schedule that doesn't involve 82 minute class periods.
