About Washington County Schools
Washington County Schools counted 2,605 K–12 students in a four-stage, countywide ladder. Ridge Road Primary serves prekindergarten through grade two, Ridge Road Elementary receives grades three through five, T.J. Elder Middle handles the next three grades, and Washington County High begins with ninth grade.
The two Ridge Road schools form a paired elementary sequence, share a school-nutrition management entry and retain separate campus identities for different age groups. A second-grader and a third-grader can belong to different schools under the same Ridge Road name. The change after grade two is part of the standard assignment.
The district’s About page also lists an Achievement Academy/Alternative School program and the IGAL Academy. Those specialized layers sit beside a regular public-school directory of four campuses. For a resident student, grade level identifies the ordinary school first; participation in an alternative or accelerated program follows the rules attached to that program.
