The school is part of the Sherwood School District 88J, which is ranked 4 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ridges Elementary School has consistently been ranked among the top elementary schools in Oregon, with a statewide ranking between 38 and 64 over the past several years, and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has performed well across various student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, Hispanic, and White students, as well as students with special education needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. In the 2024-2025 school year, Ridges Elementary School's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students outperformed the state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates. For example, in ELA, the school's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students scored 66.7%, 65.5%, and 67.8% proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 40.3%, 42.1%, and 46.7%.

Ridges Elementary School's success can be attributed to a combination of factors, including effective instructional practices, a supportive district, and a focus on addressing the needs of all students. The school's high per-student spending of $15,279 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average, and its relatively low chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, may also be contributing factors to its consistent academic success. Additionally, the school outperforms the nearby Middleton Elementary School and Hawks View Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates, as well as in overall statewide rankings.

The staff is wonderful, every teacher is energetic and positive. My children adore this school. The energy is happy and the Principal is on a first name basis with every student. I admire how creative he has been with all the budget cuts. The school has high academic expectation for the students and will support them every step of the way. Did I mention, the school itself is gorgeous!? Close Quote
