While Ridgeway School's overall performance is strong, the disparities in academic achievement between different student subgroups, particularly Special Education and Economically Disadvantaged students, suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing equity and opportunity gaps. Additionally, when compared to the high-performing schools in the neighboring Scarsdale Union Free School District, such as Edgewood, Quaker Ridge, and Greenacres, Ridgeway School's academic performance lags behind.
