Overall, not terrible, however one day there were two kids fighting and one guy just levitated and incinerated the principal and then the whole school exploded. 2/10

It's a great school. Went there all 4 years of my high school years. I love this school. Administration is great. The principle and administration knows how to run the school and how to plan fun activities for the students.

Ridgeway High School sucks. I am an AP/IB student, and I feel as if they are treated quite unfairly. Honors students are given piles of summer homework, and the standard students have none. Tests for difficult subjects are given on the first day of class, and books are given to the Honors/IB students BEFORE lockers are issued. There are three flights of stairs, and carrying heavy books is really painful. When issues are discussed with admin, the problems are simply brushed off. I suggest going to a much more student friendly school. Also, the peers are very disruptive and unruly. That might be common, however sometimes enough is enough. Think twice about going to Ridgeway.
