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.

At Lower Richland High School you will learn how to get ready for the real world. They have really good career classes my favorite is definitely culinary arts because I love cooking. They always help you out with everything whether it's school related or home related. You will always have somebody to talk to there and you'll meet a lot of new people. The only thing bad there is how some kids don't like to clean behind them selves and also the lunch but it only depends on what they have.

The best parts about my stay at Lower Richland Highschool were the extracurricular activities like the board game club and the theater department, while my worst parts were the constant threats of gun violence and the subpar lunch options.

Lower Richland high school is not a good school as far as safety, because there is a lot of fights every single day. The teachers are good, but it all depends on what subject it is.
