As I am graduating now I am going to miss Ryle so much. The community and culture over the last 4 years will be hard to replicate in college.

I think it's the best high school in Northern Kentucky, including comparing it to all private high schools. Best funding, teachers are highly qualified and highly paid. Most opportunities accross the board by far. Plenty of resources.

Ryle gives you every chance to excel should you choose. The AP classes and teachers are absolutely fantastic. Many different avenues to take. Or, if you feel like you simply aren't caught up, those kids go to the regular classes. Many different friend groups to choose from.
