Ridgedale High School

The Ohio Department of Education classifies the school district as "rural; high student poverty; small student population."^[5] 47% of students are reported to live in poverty.^[5]

95% of Ridgedale High School students identify as White.^[4]

In order to graduate, students must obtain 21 credits by the end of their senior year. This includes 4 credits of English, 4 credits of mathematics, 3 credits of science, 3 credits of social studies, a half-credit of health, and a half-credit of physical education.

To graduate with honors, students are required to complete all but one of the following requirements:^[6]

• 4 credits of English
• 4 credits of mathematics (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and a higher-level course)
• 4 credits of science (including physics and chemistry)
• 4 credits of social studies
• 3 credits of foreign language
• 1 credit of fine arts
• 3.5 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale
• Score of 27 on the ACT or a 1210 on the SAT

Students can receive credit for classes taken at Tri-Rivers Career Center or Ohio colleges through the state's College Credit Plus program. Students in grades 11 and 12 have the option to transfer full-time to Tri-Rivers Career Center, which significantly decreases the junior and senior class sizes at Ridgedale.

The team nickname is the Rockets. When Ridgedale was a member of the Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference, they had a long-standing rivalry with the Pleasant Spartans. Competitions between the two schools often became heated.
