Ridge Community High School

This school has the craziest way of scheduling students. They are lumped into one of two tracks either ALL honors classes or NO honors classes which is difficult for students who do well but struggle in specific areas. They do not allow non honors freshman to take any social studies or history classes and they force almost all students into rotc even when the student does not want to be there. Electives are limited foreign languages are limited opportunity is limited by scheduling tracks. Overall administration just seems like any question you have is bothering them. That said there are some excellent teachers the school seems safe other than the one teacher arrested earlier this year and it has a lovely campus.

Well I am new here but I think this school is excellent because from where I am there isn't even the 10% of what this school has...I like sports and in this school I find everything I could ever wish for.

Although there are many elements that bring this school down if you are lucky enough you'll get great teachers and have a bright future ahead.

I have two children that attend RCHS. The school has many activities to choose from which keeps the students safe and away from unsafe behavior. The staff is very helpful professional and nice. The principal cares for the students as if they were her own. The moral is great my children are proud to be a "Bolt"

this school sucks. the teachers can care less about you actually learning seems like all they want is a pay check. i went here for 1 year then left for a private school i wasn't learning anything to prepare me for college. all they want is to get you to pass the FCAT then they can care less about what ever else we learn.

AWESOME SCHOOL! I love going to school the teachers make it so fun and there are barely any fights I have a lot of friends it's amazing.

Great school. Great Administration and teachers. Everyone is great caring and they care about their students. I love this school. Very educationally intelligent. Thank you for everything to the Ridge!!!!!

This school is very up to date on tech. The teachers are not all great. This school is okay.

School has the latest technology which is a plus but teachers are intimidated by students. Low test scores and poor school guidance by the director.

This school is a great school to learn at because one of my kids go there and any time I have a problem the teachers/adminstration are a great help.

poor administrative class the good-behaved students suffer from the bad behaved- through classes and a ridiculous lunch procedure. Some students in AP shouldn't be there. Some great teachers others mediocre.

This is an excellent school. The environment is very safe and oderly. My chidren feel safe and cared for. Anytime they need to speak to the principal they can knock on her back door. Parent involvement could be better but the staff tries. Student grades are available 24/7 staff email addresses are available to the public and the office is inviting. Students are expected to reach their highest potential instead of wasting away in the easier courses. My son and we love this school.

This school is very substandard to any of the other schools my children have attended. The staff of the school is not very helpful or friendly. My children have had so much of their stuff stolen and dont feel safe at all. I feel like it is the school boards fault because most of the schools in this county have very poor grades. The school itself is very clean and brand new. The teachers seem to care but their hands are tied.

This is only the third year they are open they will have some problems. I am speaking as a student who graduated at the top of the class from RCHS in 2006. I also plan to one day try to become a teacher there. If the parents dont think the school communicates well check your children because even at the age of 18 being a legal adult my parents were contacted for everything. And them not preparing for college is wrong too I am also at the top of my college class even being a teenage mother.

In my opinion the education at this school is far below what it's suppose to be. Some teachers do a very poor job at teaching; I couldn't learn anything. This school actually has some good extracurricular activities though. I would not recommend this school to anybody.

As a student I have to say that the parent involvement in RCHS is very poor. Teachers can force feed students knowledge all they want but the most successful students are the ones with supportive and involved parents to guide them. As for the extracurricular activites they're strong and the people in them are very dedicated.

Friends For our Family this was a wonderfull year with our son(12th) he came from another country(Colombia) and he was treated great we are so happy with the attention that we get Keep doing a great jor Bless Yoy All Thanks. Martinez Gonzalez Family

This school is extremely poor. I would not recommend this school to anyone. Students are not properly guided for post graduate life. Communication with parents is totally unacceptable. Follow-up on important issues are next to non existence. Our children need support which this school does not provide. The price is too high and costly for the lives of our students to be so poorly valued. Outside of a few scattered good teachers this school needs thorough evaluation monitoring and rehiring.

This school is a good school expecially for there second year. My son likes his classes and enjoys football and he has good grades. The teachers are involved. I recomend this school for kids who wanna learn and have fun with school at the same time

This is the most backwards school I have ever encountered. They are so understaffed that my daughter who is an SLD student was placed into advanced 11th grade classes because that's all they had available she's a ninth grader! There is no communication not enough classes and the block schedule is rediculous! Do not move into this school's district your kids will suffer!
