I went to Ridgetop from 2014-2015 and I was a troubled kid but the teachers and staff helped keep me on track to move on with the rest of my class.

I had just moved into Washington last summer and it was hard saying good bye to all of my friends from Japan. But one the first day of school I had already made new friends. I had to ride the bus to school and I saw a girl standing at my bus stop. She was so friendly because she introduced herself and then got me a seat when I didn't know where to sit on the bus. On the bus I made SO many new friends and I'm glad I did. The teachers at the Ridge are nice and funny. When I first came here I never thought I would make new friends because I was still holding on to my friends I had before. But the friends I made here made me feel welcomed and I'm really glad I got to go to this school.

I would rate the school a two out of five because of it's harsh environment and extremely high standards. Eighth and ninth-graders are extremely disrespectful to the seventh graders and the teachers do very little to slow down the bullying. This school is very overrated. In conclusion, this is an inhospitable environment. To add on to all this injustice and hostility, the school contains an unquestionable hierarchy just below a gang. This school could improve by making it's teachers more involved with the affairs of the students.

I really do not like this school, the people are unfriendly. I guess it's more of the district, or the state. Because, I really don't know why.. but I just absolutely hate.. yes HATE this school.

Fellow students are kind for as far a teenage kindness goes, and I have had no trouble making close friends quickly. A good variety of elective classes are given and the before and after school activities presented are endless. The school recognizes students who go above and beyond, and the teachers and staff do their very best to help and encourage those who are struggling. The teachers are open for students to talk and ask questions as much as they possibly can be. Parent involvement is great and teachers send home family letters and progress reports very often. The school makes it mandatory to buy a school planner and teachers always ask you to write in them and will ask to check them if they suspect you are not using it. The sports program is wonderful, and the coaches do grade checks regularly and if the student's grades are unacceptable, they are removed from the program until their grades come back up. The advanced humanities program, Humanities In Depth (HID) is amazing. I am in HID myself and the teachers are wonderful and give plenty of opportunities for partner and group work. Overall, this is a wonderful school and I would recommend it in a heartbeat.
