Ridgewood High Schools's motto, "A Tradition of Excellence" is not reflective of RHS's population. Ridgewood goes beyond excellence. Every year Ridgewood administration is constantly finding new ways to better the school. Last year they bought a large screen-printer. A few years before they bought 3-D printers for the science lab. Now while Ridgewood is often encouraging students, especially girls to become young scientists and pursue STEM majors, the school also provides many opportunities for students interested in liberal arts to explore the world of literature, history, psychology, etc. There are interesting and unique classes students can take such as Physics, Engineering, and Art (one class), Dance, Robotics, Art History, and Crime and Mystery Literature. However, I feel that besides all these amazing aspects, the school does not truly listen to their students. Even with a student government, students are still told no, constantly. This needs to change for the school to evolve.
Ridgewood High School also has a strong track record of college placement. The school's guidance counselors work closely with students to help them navigate the college application process, and they provide resources and support to ensure that every student has the opportunity to pursue their college and career goals.
Overall, Ridgewood High School is a remarkable institution that provides students with an exceptional education and a foundation for success in all aspects of their lives. If you are a student in the Ridgewood Public School District or are considering enrolling in the district, you can be confident that you will receive a world-class education that will prepare you for a bright future.

I was a student in the Ridgewood Public School District from 2009-2022. This was a good environment to learn in because of the academic rigor especially in high school. I think that most teachers were caring and were willing to help each student. Most courses in high school properly prepared me for college courses. I felt safe in the district because the police and fire department were always notified and they would be there should an incident have occurred. The diversity is where the district struggled because a majority of students were either caucasian or asian.
