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.

I'm only in 8th grade and I can already tell you that I'm not having the best experience at Ridley Middle School. Ever since 6th grade, they have messed something up with my grades. I am usually a distinguished honor roll student but I didn't get distinguished honor roll because my teacher "accidentally" changed my grade to a C. I feel like I do too much for this school and I barely get any credit for it.This school is definitely not the most diverse either.

DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL! This school is completely crusty there’s roaches crawling around the bathroom and the smell is so redolent. The teachers are okay, but some are annoying and they don’t put in my grades early. I’m so glad I don’t go here anymore.

I go here and I recently came from a really poor area but my family was able to work our way up and we moved in here. Maybe it’s just my perspective but the kids who say that this school sucks clearly haven’t been to another school. The teachers are very nice and I think the punishment is very far....
