Academics

In order to graduate, students must obtain 21 credits by the end of their senior year. They are required 4 credits of English, 4 credits of mathematics, 3 credits of science, 3 credits of social studies, a half-credit of health, and a half-credit of physical education.

To graduate with honors, students are required to complete all but one of the following requirements:[5]

Students also receive credit for classes taken at Tri-Rivers Career Center or Ohio colleges through the state's College Credit Plus program. Students in grades 11 and 12 have the option to transfer full-time to Tri-Rivers Career Center, which significantly decreases the junior and senior class sizes at Ridgedale.
