Ridgeview is a great school, teachers are great and care for their students. The school offers several sports, music, drama, nursing, mock trials and much more. As long as you stay busy you will be ok.

Idk why there's some negative reviews in my experience kids have several great opportunities, groups, electives, sports and the music department is amazing! Teachers care about their students the more parents are involved the better. Communication is key. Overall I give this school 5 stars

I attended Ridgeview High School for all four years, and it was perfectly fine until I was a senior, when I was getting bullied and harassed by a couple of students and eventually became what felt like the whole grade level. I have been going to the office for the problem, my parents, and one of my best friends. One of my best friends saw what happened, and she went to the office with me several times to stop the problem, but there was no improvement whatsoever. I was on campus and taking in-person classes from August until the beginning of February and my parents took me out of school to start online classes since me and my parents had no improvement. However, these students also did it outside of the school campus.

Internet is horrible, bathrooms horrible, gym locker rooms horrible and dirty, the lockers outside on the campus have spider webs they haven't been cleaned since 1994, about a week ago there was a fire in the bathroom, out of date textbooks, trash everywhere, for example on the floor, trees, in between the gates, bathrooms, and on the grass, boring rallies, they cut down trees so there is no shade whatsoever, gum all over the place under the desk and floor. There are just so many things that are horrible and dangerous about this school that I can't name or tell them all. I'm warning you. K-12 Academy or home school. If there was an option take submit pictures to show what I am talking about, the school would be close or shut down. Peace out.

My son is on the Swim Team and they encourage all to participate and be a part of the Team. His team mate has Autism and he is a part of the team hes entered into events along with his team mates. The team spirit and kindness of the team brings you to tears how the students show the love and care for their team mate . How the school instilled in them it doesnt matter what kind of disability you have you are accepted by the team and will be a part of the team. Team Family

I have had a Great experience as a Parent and so has my Son. Anything I bring to their attention its handled immediately. My Rate is a 10 When a staff communicates like they do ,things run smoothly. The teachers communicate with me quickly if I ever have a concern or a question.

They have tutoring afterschool ands teachers are willing to stay in during lunch to help the students. They offer opportunity for the child to improve or if they need help,everyone is very commutative. The teachers are always up to date on Parent-Vue and respond quickly to any concerns or emails. Teachers are kind and willing to help in anyway

I attended Ridgeview from 2007 to 2011. I was meant to attend IHS, a neighboring school, but transferred to RHS to attend their Information Technology Academy. My experience with this program gave me a better education than I could have received out of it. I was given many hands-on learning opportunities and I was encouraged to work hard. The other college prep classes not involved in this program are mediocre and the teachers lack involvement with the students. My other good experience was with the performing arts department. All the teachers in that department dedicate full focus to their students and are passionate about their jobs. Other than that, the administration at RHS lacks so much, and so do the other departments on campus. The students tend to be unruly and they seem to have a careless attitude toward their education. I wish I had better to say about this campus, which is unclean majority of the time, but sadly, I do not. I am still a proud Wolf Pack alumni, but in the end, the school will never be the same as when it opened it's doors.
