I love this school! the teachers are good at what they do. We have good dicipline and we are good at sports. Even though we stay at school until 4:30 we get alot done. So if i had a choice of school it would be here. Home of the rams!

I love Ridgeroad! It's a really good school. We have 4 core classes and 3 elective classes in the afternoon. The peep rallys are fun and in them the 7th graders get to compete with the 8th graders for the sprit stick.I love my teachers and they are so nice. All though we're at school from 7:35 to 4:30 it pays off because we don't have homework afterwards!
