Summary:
Ridgefield School District includes six schools serving 4,197 students in grades K–12 in a traditional pathway from elementary through high school, along with a K–12 alternative program. The district includes two elementary schools, an intermediate school, a middle school, a high school, and Wisdom Ridge Academy. Overall, the district ranks in the 70th percentile among Washington districts, with especially strong results at several schools.
Union Ridge Elementary is the strongest elementary school, with 70.59% proficiency in English language arts and 66.44% in math, well above district and state results. It has also maintained a high ranking over several years. View Ridge Middle School is the district’s biggest improvement story, gaining more than 9 points in ELA, 10 points in math, and 16 points in science in one year. Its 2025–2026 results were above both district and state levels in all three subjects. Sunset Ridge Intermediate School also performs well in science and exceeds state results in all reported subjects.
Ridgefield High School has the district’s strongest ELA performance, with 78.04% proficiency, plus a 93.8% graduation rate and a low 3.0% dropout rate. Its main challenges are math and especially science, where results trail district averages. South Ridge Elementary is above the state in math but lags Union Ridge Elementary considerably in ELA and would benefit from added attention in that subject. Wisdom Ridge Academy serves a distinct alternative-school population, so its lower all-grade results should be interpreted separately; some grade-level data are suppressed and should be considered unavailable rather than zero.
