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.

It is a great school. Overall, it is very clean and the teachers are well prepared. They have a wide variety or course levels for you to choose from and SAT and ACT scores are very high on average.

My experience at Ridge has been for the most part good. I think atleast in my senior year there's a lot of opportunities for senior students to branch out and start having more independence like with programs like Work-Based Learning or Dual Enrollment. I do wish they had more programs at Ridge for more career focused classes like cosmetology or culinary.

This school has been really great especially from the academic standpoint. One of the best parts of my experience at Peachtree Ridge was being part of a close-knit community. The school had a strong sense of pride and tradition, and there was always something going on—whether it was a sports event, a concert, or a club activity.

My daughter is an AP honors student. She will be starting her Sophomore year. PRHS is EXCELLENT. Her classes are challenging, however, he teachers are always willing to go the extra mile for the students. It's a very clean, calm atmosphere.
