    Community: Ridgeland High School opened in August 2002 in the Madison County School District, one of the fastest growing and top-rated school districts in the state of Mississippi. The school is located in and serves students within the city limits of Ridgeland and portions of Madison County, a suburban area north of metropolitan Jackson. The area's convenient location, strong public school system, and easy access to Jackson have made Ridgeland one of the most rapidly developing areas within the metro area.
