Summary:
The Ridgefield School District in Washington consists of six schools serving about 4,200 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, forming a generally high-performing district in an area with moderate economic diversity.
Among the schools, Union Ridge Elementary stands out as the district's top performer with the highest test scores and lowest student-teacher ratio, while Ridgefield High School boasts an exceptional 93.8% graduation rate. The middle schools, View Ridge Middle School and Sunset Ridge Intermediate School, show a common dip in math performance, and South Ridge Elementary performs solidly alongside its peers. In contrast, Wisdom Ridge Academy, the district's alternative school, has significantly higher class sizes and lower per-student spending.
Overall, the district consistently outperforms state averages in English, math, and science, with particular strength in English language arts and graduation rates. The main areas for attention are improving math scores at the secondary level and addressing the resource and performance gap at the alternative school to ensure all students have equitable opportunities for success.
