Site Introduction
At Ridgecrest Intermediate School each student is celebrated for their individuality. Our student body is incredibly diverse with over 13 different languages spoken on campus. This diversity is celebrated and it continues to be the goal of staff, families and the wider learning community that each student experience academic, social, emotional support. The journey of success is different for every student and we aim to support and challenge each child in the navigation to accomplish personal goals. We have an extremely active parent volunteer community which enhances the school climate in an incredibly positive way.
