Reader Suggest its time for Ridgewood Schools to Focus on Academic Quality

Ridgewood High School theridgewoodblog.net 3

What part of the budget (none?) is going towards improving the actual ACADEMIC QUALITY of Ridgewood schools?
.
Are the feckless superintendent and RHS principal doing anything to improve these numbers?
.
Ridgewood DID NOT make “The 50 highest scoring schools in NJ’s new school ranking system”
RHS is ranked 84 out of 386 in NJ High Schools (not even top 20%)

Ridgewood DID NOT make the “top 10” (or even the “top 25”) in NJ High schools
.
Ridgewood DID NOT even make the “Top 500” high schools Nationally (they were almost in the 600s)
.
Ridgewood BARELY made the top 50% in College Readiness (53.6% of students are ready for college … which means almost HALF of RHS students ARE NOT ready for college)
