It was really nice to be in a smaller class because I got to know all of my classmates and we were very good friends. Ridgway also does a lot of outdoor excursions like rafting, ice climbing, skiing, and snowshoeing. We also have a very nice climbing wall, gym, and outdoor classroom to use! The only thing is that Ridgway doesn't offer a lot of AP classes in person and so you have to do online or make the best of what we have. New classes are being incorporated next year though, and include a culinary diversity class and a journalism class. There isn't a lot of variety in sports as well because we are so small but the athletic director is always open to new sports and clubs. I am so glad that I have been able to go to Ridgway for middle and high school!
I've been attending school at Ridgway since Kindergarten and I absolutely love it. Being a small school a strong, tight-knit (but welcoming) community. I never feel pressured to dress or act a certain way and that's because the kids here encourage you to come as you are.
What we lack in diversity, we make up for with a general acceptance of people from all walks of life. I can only hope that our school -- and community -- will diversify a bit more in the coming years.
If you need help, there will always be a teacher who is willing to meet up with you on their own time. Forming personal bonds with those around you provides you with an education in more than just the classes you take.
I have loved my time here at RES, RMS, and RHS and I'm sad to be leaving the district this year. However, I know that I'll be leaving with a strong network people who have supported me and will continue to do so no matter what I decide to do with the rest of my life.

I loved the teachers as well as the sports programs. Although small it was a great school. My class size was under 20 students so I was able to connect with teachers much easier than in a large school.
