im a sophomore this year at river ridge and i actually enjoy it! there are many people with different backrounds and colorful personalities and its way easy to make friends here! i look forward for the next 2 years at this school! --2011 baby(:
I graduated RRHS in 2003, and while I think high school was one of the most challenging times of my life, I enjoyed my time there. In spite of its 'gangster/ghetto' reputation at the time, it was a very tolerant place to learn and grow. I had a number of incredible teachers who played a large part in shaping my future. (I also had a few duds who were not invested in their students whatsoever.) The biggest drawback at RRHS was the horrendous scheduling system. There was no way to get into a routine because the schedule was changed not just yearly (we didn't have the same start time two years in a row) but monthly. It seemed like every other week we had at least one day of strange scheduling because of a holiday or break. Try being on time to class in that environment.
This school is subpar with few competent teachers. Financial issues also hinder the school in ways such as making the day start at 7:20, which is bad for the students. Students often spit on the ground and so the ground is filthy, though inside the buildings is better.
I attend river ridge high school and I love it. The academics programs are wonderful. The coaches and teachers are very Supporting and helpful with the students. The dance ,basketball, and track team is familial. In my opinion ,the best thing about the school is its diversity of students and teachers. It s full of different ethnical backgrounds. River Ridge offers a Varity of language programs. Currently I am taking Japanese. My parents are highly involved in my schooling. They have all of my teachers e-mails so they updates often. I would defiantly recommend this school.
