Ridgedale's performance has been mixed, with strengths in certain subject areas but challenges in others. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 380 and 525 out of 800-867 Ohio high schools over the past 10 years, and its SchoolDigger rating has ranged from 2 to 3 stars. While the school's graduation rates have been strong, ranging from 94.7% to 100% in recent years, it has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.1% to 22.2%.

Schools like North Union High School, Wynford High School, and Pleasant High School tend to outperform Ridgedale on various metrics, while Ridgedale outperforms the lower-performing schools in the area, such as Bucyrus Secondary School and Buckeye Community School - Marion. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients, ranging from 48.42% to 58.03% in recent years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in its academic outcomes.
