Ridgewood High School

My child had 2 classes with NO TEACHER. Not even a substitute. This went on for the first 2 weeks of school. Just recently a teacher quit mid-day due to her overwhelming stress. Some teachers don't post students work assignments on eSembler, so I have no idea how well my kids are doing until they receive a progress report. When I asked to remove my child from a "no teacher" class & put into another, it was not done. I want what is best for my child & this school is not providing it's best. I'm highly considering pulling my children from this school. It's extremely overcrowded anyway.

The school is incredibly overcrowded, but the teachers are very professional and the Principal is a man of integrity. The school has a great tradition and is very spirited.

The district school board needs to give the music, sports and arts program more $ for after school programs instead of having parents tag it to their job incomes. Medical, dental and car insurances continue to rise and many parents cannot afford to pay for alot of after school activities that include uniforms, equipment and physical exams. They also need to create an after school 'academic club' to help kids prepare for the FCATS, ACT and SAT. Also serve less greasy foods and create a second floor where the kids can have an inside gymnasium, a bigger library and computer lab. More and more teens are having to work instead of raising their grade point average.
