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.

As a student at Ashley Ridge, I have been given so many wonderful opportunities beyond the school. I was accepted into an MUSC program through my school which I participated in twice. Within my school I did things like concert band and JROTC. I also joined NTHS which gives wonderful academic and scholarship opportunities. This school really does the most to help its students excel. Ashley Ridge is a wonderful school and continues to become better each year.
