At West Ridge Academy, we provide a rigorous and robust quality education for every student in order to prepare them to succeed in our constantly-evolving and diverse world. Our commitment unleashes great potential in every student by constant improvement through innovative practices. 

AdvancED is the largest community of education professionals in the world. Their goal isn’t to certify that schools are simply good enough. Rather, their commitment is to help schools and students improve. AdvancED Standards for Quality require each school to be reviewed in a way that provides research-based, comprehensive statements regarding the conditions and factors that contribute to a quality educational experience and operational effectiveness.
