School Reviews

I attended this school until halfway through junior year. I was part of a class of 2015. I enjoyed my time here and was very involved in clubs, sports and activities. Also, when comparing Shadow Ridge to the other school I transferred to, Shadow Ridge had far better academics and programs available. I felt like Shadow Ridge had a much more difficult and more challenging curriculum (which is a good thing) and prepared me better for university versus the school that I transferred to. The only thing was at the time I was there, our football team wasn''t very good, but men's volleyball, women's soccer, cross-country, and wrestling were all pretty good. But it would have been better if the football team was better just because it's more fun to win games for the morale of the school.

The administration of this school does not seem to be concerned about quality of staff, or doing the best it can for its students. Note the easy requirements for passing grades (lack of grammar, punctuation, spelling,etc.,corrections in course work). The lack of students participating in extra-curricular activities is a sure sign that students are not encouraged to participate by the administration. The low number of students in the sports programs and poor win records in those programs indicate again, the administration really are not student advocates.
