Ridley School District is a large, suburban public school district in southeastern Delaware County, Pennsylvania. It serves the residents of Ridley Township, and the boroughs of Ridley Park and Eddystone. The township includes the census-designated places of Folsom and Woodlyn.[2]

Ridley School District encompasses approximately 8 square miles.

The district has one high school, one middle school, and seven elementary schools.

According to 2017-21 ACS-ED data, the district serves a resident population of 40,369.[3] The median household income is $77,304, versus a state median income of $67,587, and national median income of $69,021.[3]

Extracurriculars

The district offers a variety of clubs, activities and sports. Ridley School District uses a Green Raider as their mascot. The Raiders referred to Native Americans from the Lenni Lenape Nation. In the summer of 2020, a movement organized by students at Ridley High School (called Diversify Our Narrative) took action to change the controversial mascot; however, they have yet to yield any results.

Ridley High School is home to the WRSD radio station.
