(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am currently a senior at Ridgeland High School and would not want to be anywhere else. The school is small enough to always see familiar faces, but large enough to always meet new people. They offer many AP and Accelerated courses that are aimed towards college prep. There are also many many clubs and other student activities to get involved with. The teachers and administrators are strict but fair and know a majority of the students personally. I truly love this school!
