Ranchview High School has partnered with Northlake Community College to offer classes that High School students can get both high school and college credit for. These classes can be taken either after school or during the summer on the Northlake College campus. US Government (1 semester) and Economics (1 semester) courses are currently offered on the Ranchview campus for seniors.
