About Our School
Ridgway High School is centrally located in the suburban city of Santa Rosa, California. It is the primary continuation campus in the district with an enrollment of 300 students. Ridgway High School is an essential component of alternative education for Santa Rosa City Schools which includes; Independent Study Program (ISP), Teen Parent Program, and two Special Education Transition programs. Ridgway High School has established itself as a high performing campus with an emphasis on academic success for all students. Established in 1968, the school's facilities encompass five acres and were constructed in 2002 with an adequate number of classrooms, including a functioning library, computer lab, culinary classroom and an integrated computer/telecommunications network.
Ridgway continues to serve our most at-risk students with the same influence from the words of William Spady, known worldwide for his efforts in educational reform, “All students can learn and succeed, but not on the same day in the same way.” This statement is the foundation that forms the basis for Ridgway High School’s mission, learning outcomes, policies, and decision making.
Staff, parents and students feel that the school is a safe and secure place. The campus culture and routines are well established. Restorative practices are used in student discipline with respect provided to all involved. Major discipline issues are not a regular occurrence on the campus as students are focused on graduation. Ridgway creates avenues for student success by stressing positive attitudes, regular attendance, and academic achievement. The school enables students to continue their education when they haven't been successful in the traditional high school system. Our high expectations hold students accountable to essential academic standards and rigorous graduation requirements.
