Summary

River Ridge High is a public high school located in Patch Grove, Wisconsin, serving 166 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the River Ridge School District, which is ranked 127 out of 426 districts in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

River Ridge High has shown fluctuating academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 44 out of 400 high schools in 2018-2019 to 235 out of 391 in 2021-2022. The school generally performs on par with or slightly better than nearby schools like Iowa-Grant High, Fennimore High, and Boscobel High, but lags behind the larger and higher-ranked Richland Center High. River Ridge High has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.4% to 100% in recent years, and a relatively low dropout rate of 0% to 1.3%.

One notable finding is that River Ridge High has a significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, with 37.95% to 46.43% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. However, the school's performance on academic measures for this subgroup has been relatively strong, with the low-SES students ranking 50th out of 251 Wisconsin high schools in 2018-2019. The school has also experienced relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 5.9% to 19.5% in recent years, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address.
