We are more than a test score! 
"When you improve a little each day, eventually big things occur...Not tomorrow, not the next day, but eventually a big gain is made.  Don't look for the big, quick improvement.  Seek the small improvements, one day at a time.  That's the only way it happens - and when it happens that way, it lasts."  (John Wooden, successful basketball coach at UCLA)

The Ridgway Area School District Board, Administrations, and RHS Faculty and Staff are proud of the students' results on the Winter Keystones Exams (Algebra I and English Lit).  We are continuing to look for opportunities to enable students who were not proficient to achieve academic growth.   The copies of the individual student results for the Winter Keystone Exams have recently been received from PDE and will be mailed home at the beginning of next week (week of 4/15).  Faculty, staff and students have begun the remediation process in preparation for the Spring (May 2013) administration of the Keystone Exams (Algebra I, English Lit. and Biology).  Much of the remediation will be taking place through regular class instruction.  Parents and students who have questions or concerns about the Keystone Exam results should contact Mrs. Vargas at (814)773-3164.
