    Rita Ranch is probably the best residential area of Tucson, Arizona, and I enjoy living here. It is a nice, quiet suburb with all the stores and restaurants you could want, and the closest high school is a good one.

    Rita ranch is a community of people, although not the safest community there are good people. They come together to do what’s beat for their nieghboors. The school district is one of the best in the state.
    The public schools in Rita Ranch focus more on performance scores than on actual learning. Don't let the test scores fool you; you children will be terribly unhappy in this neighborhood if they attend a Vail school.
