Summary

Ridgefield High School is a traditional public school serving grades 9–12 in the relatively lower-poverty Ridgefield community, with 1,249 students enrolled in the Ridgefield School District. It ranks 94th of 396 Washington high schools, placing it at the 76th percentile and earning four stars. The school’s 23.46% free/reduced-price lunch rate is lower than those of nearby traditional high schools, while its 20.7:1 student-teacher ratio and $15,198 per-student spending are fairly moderate locally.

One of Ridgefield’s clearest strengths is helping students stay in school and graduate. In 2024–25, 93.8% of students graduated and 3.0% dropped out—better than every nearby comprehensive high school listed except La Center High School, which had a 95.4% graduation rate and a 2.2% dropout rate. Academically, Ridgefield is especially strong in English language arts: 78.04% of students were proficient in 2025–26, compared with 52.81% statewide. That result trailed La Center but exceeded results at Battle Ground High School, Skyview High School, and other nearby schools.

Math is improving and is a notable local advantage. Ridgefield’s 2025–26 proficiency rate was 49.83%, its highest in the four-year series and the best among the nearby schools in the supplied data, although it remains well below the school’s ELA performance. Science is the main concern: proficiency fell to 42.80%, below both the state and district rates and behind most nearby comparison schools. Parents may also want to ask about support for students receiving special education services, whose statewide effectiveness ranking was at the 23rd percentile in 2025–26. Overall, Ridgefield offers strong graduation and literacy outcomes, improving math results, low dropout rates, and a solid record compared with most larger regional high schools.
