Being a smaller district, there is an immense sense of community that I believe to not be as prevalent in neighboring districts. The teachers are passionate and nurturing. Read 13 reviewsĪlum: I had the privilege of attending SHSD from K to 12th grade. Overall, while my school promotes drive and has all the resources one needs to succeed, the competition needs to be addressed so that there can be a more united student body. This often leads to backhanded comments, ridicule, and the loss of friendships. I cannot help but feel as if all of my classmates see each other as enemies. Thanks to those two aspects, I was able to break out of my shell and not only excel in a more academically challenging environment but make friends and develop close relationships with my excellent teachers.Īn issue I would like to comment on is what I see as unnecessary competition. Although I was extremely nervous as a sophomore entering the school, I am grateful to have a passionate staff to support me and various opportunities for extra help and after-school ECs. Senior: When I first moved and transferred to Mahwah High School, I knew beforehand that the school had a larger student body and better education quality than my old school Saddle Brook High School. This needs to change for the school to evolve. Even with a student government, students are still told no, constantly. However, I feel that besides all these amazing aspects, the school does not truly listen to their students. There are interesting and unique classes students can take such as Physics, Engineering, and Art (one class), Dance, Robotics, Art History, and Crime and Mystery Literature. Now while Ridgewood is often encouraging students, especially girls to become young scientists and pursue STEM majors, the school also provides many opportunities for students interested in liberal arts to explore the world of literature, history, psychology, etc. A few years before they bought 3-D printers for the science lab. Last year they bought a large screen-printer. Every year Ridgewood administration is constantly finding new ways to better the school. Senior: Ridgewood High Schools's motto, "A Tradition of Excellence" is not reflective of RHS's population.
