Ridgeview Middle School has been a great experience for me. The teachers really care about helping students succeed, and they make learning fun and engaging. I love the variety of classes and extracurricular activities offered, especially the music programs and sports teams. The environment is welcoming, and I've made so many new friends here. I feel like my voice is heard, and the staff genuinely wants us to do our best. I’m glad I get to be a part of the Ridgeview community!"

I hate this school so much because when I went here in 7th grade I was touched by a student and I wasn't the only one other girls told but the didn't do anything about it yes he was special but only when he wanted to he knew what he was doing this was when I was 14 I am disgusted in this school

We were pleased with our children's experience at Ridgeview. They were well prepared for high school and beyond. Now our grandchildren are also at Ridgeview and thriving with the high expectations exhibited at this school.

Most teachers are caring and engaged. Pretty good.Principal is impossible. Cold and uncaring. Unwilling to listen and work towards resolutions. Certainly not in it to inspire or motivate kids.

My child attended for 3 years, I have never had any problems with academics, behavior etc. The school is a overall good stable school.

We had a totally unsatisfactory experience at this school. Most of the teachers are good (with the exception of a rare few). The principal is deliberately uncooperative. She goes out of her way to make even the simplest problem impossible to solve without going over her head. She spends a lot of time throwing up barriers instead of trying be be helpful and constructive. The guidance counselor is equally difficult to deal with. She seems unqualified for her position and should not be counseling young people regarding difficult situations. The only shining star in the administrative office is the assistant principal. He truly cares about the students but his hands are tied so his positive impact is limited given the current leadership.

I had a parent conference and have to admit it was the worst experience at a school I have ever had. Instead of feeling like things were resolved, the other parents had the opportunity to be loud and were allowed to be so in a threatening mannor on school property. Was not a rational nor pleasant experience at all! I had hopes that meeting with the principal would be a pleasant experience. It simply was not. So no wonder so many things get out of order when there is no one to really talk to, about legitament concerns. I do not suggest this place if you ever have any direct issues. I realize schools do not have to get involved with students lives, which I was told this exact quote by the principal but the negativity shown through 100 percent as a part of why I am writing this. Advocacy is not a strong suit at this school. Nor helping to find the means to an end is not possible, if it comes to any kind of conference!

Ridgeview MS is the worst school I have ever delt with. They LOST my child one day and then shoved it under the rug. They played with a 13 yr old boys head. The teacher took a person vendetta against my son. I wouldnt send your child to this school, not if you care about their safety.

This school doesn't really permit many things at all, the principal isn't very fair. There is a lot of room for improvement to be made. The curriculum is falling behind, and in many classes, the education doesn't challenge many students.
