Teachers do the best with what they have. I have 3 children who attend this school. Only 2 have had a good experience. My middle child who is in 4th grade I can't say that has been the same. The teachers for this grade are failing the students and something needs to change, when all students are failing or have low grades it is not the children but the educator. I have been in contact with the office but there is only so much that can be done, unfortunately.

This school doesn't deserve ONE star but I can't choose zero. The faculty, especially the front office staff, are ridiculously incompetent and make everything ten times harder than it needs to be, from enrollment to graduation.The staff also refused to accommodate my child's disability and mobility devices for months despite plans in place with the county signed by their medical care team. The elevator was "broken" or they were refused the access keys for months, and told on several occasions to "just walk up the stairs" by the dean and several other office staff. The harassment and bullying by both students and faculty got so infuriating and harmful that we withdrew them and started them in a Hospital Homebound program instead.The facility and office staff are now withholding my child's diploma despite Hospital Homebound emailing and calling numerous times over the course of 2 months, and only after finally refusing to be put on hold and sent to voicemail got confirmation that it was there and ready for pickup however we're still being told we can't have it until May.If your child needs to graduate and has ANY kind of disability or mobility issues, just save yourself the trouble and enroll them in the Homebound program.Ridge Community High School is too overpopulated and understaffed to show any care or compassion for students WITHOUT challenges and simply outright refuses to follow federal requirements for ADA access.

Staff acts entitled and like this is a prestigious school because it's charter. Middle school students can't choose their electives. High school has zero opportunities. A teacher once got reported by several students for weird behavior and the school didn't do anything about it, not even giving him a warning.
