Throughout my years I was never too fond of even going to school. I hated the idea of waking up early, sitting for 6 hours, and interacting with so many people. At Ridgefield High School, I feel like that dynamic was different and more enjoyable. We have a pretty good range of classes to take and I always felt like I could find something I'd enjoy. I was able to do my favorite sport(gymnastics) which not a lot of schools have so that was a plus. Teachers were almost always a good experience, you can tell they put their students above. Going into a pandemic I feel as though the district did a good job of bening inclusive to everyone, ranging from providing free technology and also providing free meals. If I somehow had to redo my high school years, I'd still choose to go here.
First of all I think it's important to note that Ridgefield High School is located in a very small town. Small towns obviously offer less opportunities in sports, academics and the arts. My graduating class was made up of 112 students. I graduated 12th in my class with a 3.5 gpa. I was able to graduate in honors society and go to college with 2 small scholarships. With that said, I think it is important to also note that I felt very unprepared for collage life. I did not even know what an AP credit was. I struggled with studying long hours and how to effectively study during my first couple of years at college. Saying I was under challenged in High school would be an understatement. Yet I enjoyed my High School Experience. I had great relationships with my teachers, felt motivated and was able to complete a bachelors of science from Brigham Young University in Utah. I look back with fond memories.
Small town, community feel. Inclusive. Community values schools and supports students. Many of the staff live in the community. School spirit was great!
