Ridgefield School District
Nestled in the heart of Southwest Washington, Ridgefield School District is one of the fastest-growing districts in the state. With a current enrollment of over 4,100 students across seven schools, the district is expanding rapidly and nearly bursting at the seams, reflecting the vibrant and dynamic growth of the community served.
Ridgefield schools are known for their academic excellence, with students consistently performing above state averages in both math and reading. The district’s growth is a testament to the strong community support and the dedication of the educators, who strive to provide a nurturing and inclusive environment for all students.
R&C Management is honored to be a longtime partner of Ridgefield School District, providing owners representative services in program and project management. Our collaboration has been instrumental in supporting the district’s growth and ensuring the successful completion of numerous projects. We take pride in contributing to the development of such a thriving educational community.
Ridgefield is more than just a place to learn; it’s a community where students, parents, and staff work together to create a supportive and enriching educational experience.

Present Day: Future Site Planning
Ridgefield School District has started work for the installation of the off-site sanitary infrastructure in preparation for their eventual new 5-6/7-8 campus in the SE region of their district. This smart and proactive investment will put them ahead of the curve when that future bond passes and aligns well with other area work, including the county’s new round-about at 29th & 179th to address the tremendous growth in Ridgefield.
R&C Management Group is proud to partner on this critical project with Ridgefield School District, AKS Engineering: AKS Engineering & Forestry | Bend, Keizer & Tualatin OR, Vancouver WA (aks-eng.com), and Nutter Corporation: Home - Nutter Corp
2023 - 2024: Future Elementary School Site Design - “Foundation Ready”
A new 75,000 square foot K-4 Elementary School with capacity for 600 students to help alleviate overcrowding at the district's other elementary schools.
Includes an 8-plex classroom building, providing much-needed additional instructional space that is more permanent than using portable classroom buildings.
The district already owns the land, and the site is permitted and ready to begin construction.
