School Overview

Ridgway High School, located at 325 Ridgway Avenue in Santa Rosa, California, operates as a continuation high school within the Santa Rosa City Schools district. Serving students who may need a more flexible or personalized approach to learning than what is offered in a traditional comprehensive high school, the institution focuses on helping students recover credits, improve their academic standing, and stay on track toward graduation. Its mission is centered on providing a supportive environment where students can address individual challenges and successfully complete their secondary education.

The school is known for its smaller class sizes and a dedicated staff that emphasizes individualized instruction and student advocacy. By offering a smaller campus setting, Ridgway aims to foster closer relationships between educators and students, which often helps in boosting student engagement and emotional well-being. The program is specifically designed to provide an alternative path for those who thrive in smaller settings or require additional support to overcome academic, social, or personal obstacles on their way to earning a high school diploma.
