I just moved here from Texas and I actually heard poor reviews for this school, but Ring Gold High has been nothing but amazing. My boy's are in soccer and the coaches for Ring Gold are some of the best I have ever seen! They took my boys in and treated them like they knew them forever, same with the boys on the team. The parents, teachers and staff are really amazing at this school and I am very that my boys have found a great school!
