About Us:

Our beautiful campus is located in the northeastern part of Polk County, Florida. The school officially opened its doors to students on August 10, 2000. Ridgeview Elementary was approved to become a conversion charter school beginning the 2001-2002 school year. The focus of the school is on traditional academics with an emphasis on global studies. Our school is now Ridgeview Global Studies Academy.

Ridgeview Global Studies Academy also became a Title I school during its first year as a charter school. Title I funding provides us with additional staff and services to truly make a difference in the lives of our children. The Title I goal is to improve student achievement through effective instruction, professional development, and family involvement. Ridgeview shares the Title I status with 54 other schools in Polk County.
