Ridgeway (Junior) High School is the joint middle and high school that the central characters in iCarly attended. Miss Briggs and Mr. Howard are two of the teachers that work at Ridgeway. Most of the teachers who teach the iCarly trio only make a single appearance, such as in iGot Detention (Freddie and Gibby's teacher, Carly's teacher), iHave a Lovesick Teacher (Miss Ackerman, the iCarly trio's history teacher). In iWant a World Record, one of the substitute teachers was named Mr. Buttburn. Ridgeway is a combined middle and high school, since Carly and her friends have been attending since they were thirteen. The school may also be a grade school, since there were little kids laughing and taking pictures of Freddie in iKiss at the same time.

The school is featured in the revival episode iLove Gwen, where Freddie's adopted stepdaughter Millicent Mitchell is seen attending the school. Ted Franklin appears in i'M Cursed, where he reveals he has retired after Carly, Freddie and Sam left the school. The school reappears again in iReunited and It Felt OK, where Carly and Freddie attend their high school reunion, 10 years after leaving and its revealed she never actually graduated, but get the credits and graduates at the end of the episode.

Description[]

The main hallway contains various lockers. Next to the front doors, there is a stair that leads to another hallway which was never shown where it leads. There is a teacher's lounge next to Freddie's, Carly's, and Sam's locker. The inside of the teacher's lounge was never shown. Even a cafeteria was mentioned in a couple of episodes, it was never shown. In the episode, iOpen a Restaurant, there is a basement in which Gibby opens a restaurant in the basement. It also might have been a year-round school since the characters were seen attending the school during summer months as seen in iGot a Hot Room.

History[]

When Ridgeway was built, a construction worker accidentally made a locker, Locker 239, 4 times bigger than it was supposed to be. The locker ended being destroyed when Sam's mom, Pam Puckett, when she drove her car into the school and crushed the locker.[1]

Trivia[]

  • This school, as well as the Ridgeway Detention Centre in Zoey 101, are named after a school in Memphis, Tennessee (the shows' creator's hometown). The colors of Ridgeway High School in Memphis are blue and orange, and appear to be the same on iCarly. The show's creator, Dan Schneider, attended White Station High, the real Ridgeway's rival. This may explain why, on Zoey 101, he named the detention center as such.
  • in the Zoey 101 episode Disc Golf, there is a school named Ridgeway.
  • The school appeared less from the second season onwards, and then appeared even less from the fourth season, although it returned in the first scene of the original series finale episode iGoodbye. Its last appearance in a regular-length episode was in iOpen a Restaurant.
  • It is mentioned in the revival episode i'M Cursed that Principal Franklin has retired since iGoodbye, but it is unknown how long after the events of that episode he decided to retire.
  • In the episode, iMust Have Locker 239, it is revealed that tube tops and turtleneck shirts are not allowed.
  • The school appeared once in the revival, in iLove Gwen, where it's revealed that Freddie's stepdaughter Millicent attends the school.
  • Carly and Freddie graduated from the school in 2013 (2012, originally)
  • Its revealed in iReunited and It Felt OK that Carly never officially graduated from Ridgeway, but does in that episode.
  • The janitor Mike died during senior year, in his closet.[8]
  • The gymnasium is first (and likely only) seen in IReunited and It Felt OK.
