The part I like the most is that Ryle is like a mini college. It's large enough that you have almost anything to choose from, from acamedic classes, AP classes, sports, clubs, activities, and so on. And, you have more friend groups to choose from versus small schools with a few small cliques or nothing. It really prepares you for real life, be it going to a college or working in a large company or organization. I love it.

Academically Ryle excels very, very well. The teachers seem to have been around a long time and really push us students to apply ourselves and reach our fullest potential. It was really easy to make friends over the years since not a really small school. I've really liked it here.

I am a legacy here at Ryle. My mom and dad both went here and one of my aunts. The school feels new and fresh yet it has a very fun history to it at the same time.

The principal is out front every morning as I drop off the kids, greeting them with fists bumps. The teaching staff is...
