Over the past several years, Ridge View High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 29th out of 322 Iowa high schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 269th out of 336 in 2022-2023. The school generally performs well on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) tests, with a majority of students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with some years seeing higher proficiency rates than others.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Washington High School and Alta-Aurelia High School, Ridge View High School has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority (over 80%) of white students. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $14,493, which is slightly higher than the nearby schools. These factors, along with the school's declining statewide ranking and inconsistent test score performance, suggest areas for improvement and opportunities for the school to learn from and collaborate with its neighbors to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for its students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
