My child's school counselor changed my kids schedule without informing me. She told my daughter that I told her to change her schedule, which wasn't true, and apparently she talked to her history teacher to make the change. As a result my daughter has to retake a class next semester that she's been in 4 weeks already. Why would a counselor lie to change her schedule? She is a good student, takes honors French, plays the viola, so I don't understand. Come to think of it, she said her friends said she does this all the time.

I remember first coming into this school, shy and awkward. Then I started to make friends, relationships with teachers who want to make relationships. But now, I like this school took a part of my life away from me rather than feeling like a home I can return to. This school changed a lot during these three years. The year of 2015-2016 was truly the best. Side note: Last year’s eigth graders who got the new principal for their last year apparently booed the him. I miss so many things. The understanding teachers who left us. Ms. Mcknight. Better assistant principals. When I felt more inclined to be involved. And especially when I felt welcomed during the first day of school. Now, I may seem like I despise this school enough to give it one star. That is partly true, however, I still once loved this school. I love as much as to cry when I think about what I’ve lost because of how I was treated in my 8th grade year here. I do not recommend attending this school unless the staff changes. Absolutely not.

My experience at this school has been very mixed. In the 2015-2016 school year, Ridgeview was home to the principal of the year, and two other very good administrators. Currently in the 2017-2018 school year, we have a principal and one administrator who don’t do very much nor have much control over the students. The other administrator actually does things, although treats students differently, and is very biased towards some.

Ridgeview is an excellent school. My oldest daughter went there for three years and my younger daughter is in her first year there. The principal was named principal of the year for all of Maryland. She seems to be very capable. In the almost four years that I have had s child there I have only once had to make calls to the school regarding a problem. The issue was resolved swiftly and the student who had harassed my daughter was dealt with and punished appropriately. Very glad this is the middle school my daughters have attended/are attending.
