Ridgewood High School uses the district’s New Student Online Enrollment process rather than a selective application; families new to the district request an account with a valid email address, while families with a student already enrolled use Skyward Family Access. (rpsnj.us) For 2026–27, the district says registration for new students who are Ridgewood residents began in mid-January 2026; it lists no separate high-school application deadline. (rpsnj.us) Families must upload the student’s birth certificate or other legal document and proof of Ridgewood residency, complete the required forms, and provide health records, including immunization documentation; enrollment is complete once the registrar approves it. (rpsnj.us) The district does not publish a Ridgewood High School waitlist or ranked admissions-priority categories on its enrollment page: residency is the stated basis for regular registration, not a competitive preference. (rpsnj.us) For questions about an individual registration, the page lists high-school registrar Nicole Wehmeyer at 201-670-2800, extension 20535. (rpsnj.us)
