Ridgewood Preparatory School was a university-preparatory private school located in Metairie, an unincorporated community in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. It included grades PreK-12, with a student-teacher ratio of 10:1.[1] Ridgewood was approved by the State Department of Education and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
Ridgewood's diverse student body came from six parishes, as well as, from countries around the world. In 2007, fifteen percent of students were foreign citizens coming from nations as far-ranging as Argentina, Nigeria, Norway, Japan, Vietnam, and Egypt.[2] The school was organized as a primary, middle, and high school. The academic year consisted of two semesters, each divided into three six-week grading periods. The school was operated as a non-profit corporation aided by an advisory board.
By June 2021, the student population of Ridgewood is 194 students, with an average grade size of 13 students. In the same year, the annual tuition was reported to be $7,400.[1]
After 75 years, the school closed in January, 2023 due to “persistent low enrollment” and financial issues.[3]
