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 graduated from here so it really wasn't the worst or the best at first. Everything was kinda well taken care of then Covid hit and it went crazy. The food was bad, admin got crazy over controlling the most random things, and the teachers didn't do their jobs.

I was actually new this year, and some of the staff were accommodating, but some were very hard headed, on my first day it took 2 hours before i got a tour and i was late to homeroom

What I loved about Ridgeland High School was the Honors program. I had been a part of it all throughout high school and it is a great way to take advantage of amazing teachers and opportunities to challenge and further your education. It gives you the chance to gain college credit in high school which in my experience was great in furthering my credits in college.

Ridgeland has a slightly negative reputation due to issues in the past. However, during my time as a student there (2007-2011), I couldn't have imagined myself at a better school. The teachers that make up the Honors Academy are some of the best teachers in the state of Georgia. I learned more in th...
