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.

RGSA is by far in my opinion the very best in Polk. The teachers and staff are so very involved in helping each and every student achieve their full potential. My son has been there for 2 years now and each year I worried like every parent " Will this years teacher be what my son needs to succeed"?And each I have been amazed at how well he aclimates to his new class and his grades have been As and Bs all year. When learning to read I dont how she did it but, kuddos to Mrs. Kline because when he realized he could read he was so proud and shocked at how easy it was. I am so proud of everythign he has accomlished in his 2 years at RGSA. Last year in kindergarten Mrs. Sparr made it so easy for him to learn what school is about and he absolutely adores her and so many of the other staff members. I can honestly say I am super proud to be a part of the RGSA family. Thank you RGSA for being so awesome and teaching my son how to be a smart successful member of society.
