I would like to see more preparation for collage as well as more emphasis on trying to get students to be more worried and involved in their future after graduation. I wish some of the facilities were better such as the bathrooms. The last thing that I would personally change is the food and make it a little higher quality.

My overall experience at Ripley High School is good. The school's food is not fulfilling or satisfying. I have to bring my lunch daily to be satisfied with my meal. The bathrooms also lack general hygiene. Some of the teachers cannot also teach their students efficiently. However, their art program is excellent and allows students to identify their strengths and weaknesses as artists.

Teachers are extremely involved and supportive. Facilities are all in superior condition. Administration should put more care into the students.
