Cedar Ridge High School

Posted: May 28, 2026

As a former student (class of 2024) this place was an actual nightmare. There were a select few teachers that were wonderful as well as one counselor, but a majority of support staff and teachers were terrible and had no place teaching. When those teachers would be reported for discriminatory behavior and inappropriate language towards students, little to nothing would happen about it. I had to email my principle several times and mention going above the head of the principal all the way to our superintendent for the principal to bother for even a moment to have me called in, and even then it was an AP who saw me instead. When students such as myself were facing harassment and bullying from other students, teachers turned a blind eye and didnt say anything. They are not willing to accommodate students returning from mental health emergencies that left them hospitalized, I had to make up over a week's worth of work after being placed in the mental hospital involuntarily and all of it was counted late and against me. This school is atrocious as far as student care goes, dont send your kids here if you care about their well being.

The teachers don’t care about most of the students and on top of that the ones they do, they favor. And most of the time it’s b the girls who is on daddy’s money and has never worked a day in their lives. Cmon y’all, get your stuff together!! 10/10 recommend NOT going to this school!!!

As a parent of a child with educational needs and a 501 this school has been terrible!!! The principal and vice principal we worked with just kick the van down the road and do not involve themselves unless pushed every day. On top of that the environment is highly politicized and if you don’t think like they tell you to you are bullied by students and teachers. And in the midst of a pandemic they have made the learning environment as I uncomfortable as possible not even bothering to try to make any normalcy possible. Most students don’t bother coming to school any longer because the environment is terrible and most of the teachers spend more time instilling fear of a virus rather than trying to comfort and create normalcy. Would not recommend

I suffered from an anxiety disorder while attending this school. Instead of seeing the changes in my performance as a red flag and offering me help and support, the school simply punished me for it. This school treated me more as a statistic than a person and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with concerns for their child’s mental health.

Good. Lots of extra curricular options and academy choices. AP courses often have busy work for homework instead of rigorous academics

I would look at a different school. The course work isn't as advanced as other schools in the district. The students are not challenged enough so they are not prepared for college. My child experienced bullying several times and it was taken lightly by staff. My child was called names and treated poorly by the school AP when they tried to reach out to other sources to get the bullying stopped. It makes me sad that Cedar Ridge does not take bullying seriously. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

Wonderful, caring teachers. so many options for student curriculum. Students I know are happy there!

I have now had 2 graduate from this school and a 3rd one in another 2 years. The teachers at this school that I have dealt with have all be wonderful. I even had a math teacher show up at my doorstep to help my daughter and I felt blessed and overjoyed at the commitment to see my child succeed. I can't say enough about the staff I have dealt with over the years. They are always helpful and informative and very respectful. I would highly recommend this school.

My son is a sophomore and am very happy with the overall administration, faculty, academics and athletics. I have zero complaints. Teachers have been very responsive to questions and are always willing to meet with me whenever I requested a face to face meeting. All of my son's teachers make themselves available in the morning and after school for tutorials and often text parents and students with information we all need. Of course there will be personality challenges between some students and teachers but this is real world as we'll likely face the same challenges in the workforce. Students are held accountable for all their actions. Not sure what else to say other than we have been very pleased so far.

Sex, drugs and bullying...the administration could absolutely care less about it. Teachers inept at teaching their classes and refusal to respond to parental emails or phone calls. It's a beautiful school with great options for classes as well as extracurricular activities. However the bad definitely outweighs the good.

CRHS has an excellent faculty, top notch programs for the students, and an exceptionally beautiful campus. The band program there is one of the best in the nation, and led by an impressive directive staff. The only complaint I have had or heard of at CRHS over the years is the poor quality volleyball program, which hopefully will improve once the staff is replaced. I highly recommend CRHS to anyone looking for excellence in education.

Cedar Ridge High School is a pretty good school! The school has an excellent athletic department (recently more than a month ago, the Varsity and JV girls' track and field teams got 2nd place in district :))and there's a variety clubs and extra-curricular activities (the Mu Alpha Theta Math Club/Honor Society is made official recently) that you can attend.For the sports and clubs, the people there treat you as if you're part of their family and that's great! There's also a variety of classes that you can take that has to do with your academic ability or the career path that you really want to be in. The problem with Cedar Ridge High School though is the teachers. There are some teachers that are supportive, good, and caring and if you're going to be absent, they can take care of that for you. Then there's some teachers who are really rude and they always think what they're doing, but they're just not benefiting their students and their "teaching" is just awful. Other than that, the school is pretty good and I like how the school is progressing from a school with a tiny population of 9th and 10th graders to all the way to a school that will be a 6A school soon! -From a Freshman.

Though potential exists for the school to be great, it just hasn't happened overall. I've taught here for several years now. I thought that some of the problems in the first year were due to its being new and lacking systems in place. However, the same problems exist now that surfaced in the first year with little or no effort to actually fix them. Teachers are told to hold students accountable to tardies, discipline, academics, etc., but there is no real consequence, so students can regularly be seen skipping classes and hanging out in the cafeteria or roaming the halls. There are some teachers who really care and give above and beyond, but they can't carry an entire school. There are some teachers whose student scores have never been acceptable, yet they are allowed to keep their exact same job, doing the same thing that didn't work the year before or the year before that. I have watched over the last 3 years talented and dedicated teachers leaving the school because they are not being heard or supported. If this trend doesn't change, the beautiful building and extra-curricular successes will not be able to hide the poor academic focus for the non-AP student.

As a parent of a boy starting the 10th grade and a girl starting her senior year I have been happy with the academic experience they have received so far. The parents are very involved in this school and it shows. My son is on the golf team and we've been happy with the way the teachers have been able to keep him up to date on his assignments whenever he misses class for tournaments. It is a new facility which is great but it is very large. I would suggest parents find an activity or club where their kids fit in.

As parents who emphasize academics, we are very happy with Cedar Ridge. We can without a doubt say our student learns at this school. It is a large, diverse school (which helps prepare our child for life outside of our home) and still students receive the individualized attention and focus they need to ensure their academics are contributing to their personal and academic growth. This is the third year for the school to be open and I am impressed with how efficiently everything is run, especially considering the size. The fact there is a huge selection of electives, activities and clubs to capture students attention and get them involved allows each to find their niche. Teachers and staff care and are respectful and involved. There is a very active PTSA contributing as well. The entire area is very down to earth and accepting and this shows through the students who are able to pursue their own passions and interests with acceptance and support for who they are and what they each want to accomplish.
