Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Etowah County School District
Ridgeville’s K–12 school district, shared with Hokes Bluff, Rainbow City, Reece City, Walnut Grove, Sardis City and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $11,938 per pupil, $6,650 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
