GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The school is strong in academics and course variety, although certain instructors aren't the best at making the lessons their own rather than getting them from a textbook, and oftentimes aren't as patient as others. The diversity is extremely minimum, being a predominantly white school. There is lots of club variety and the funding and overall safety of the extracurriculars are positives.

To describe my experience, I have got along well with teachers and I am a RHAM High School Honor Roll Scholar and made Honor Roll every marking term.

I felt as if the school provides a great experience for high school students and presents a challenging curriculum that prepares students excellently for college. I have not found my college courses to be more difficult than my most challenging high school classes. The largest downside to this program is its culture within the student body as there is minimal school spirit and a toxic environment makes it difficult for many students to focus on work.

Unfortunately the school as a whole is struggling with major issues. Although the building is new'ish it's in poor condition and not kept up as it should be.
