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.

As a student, I think Richards makes student wellbeing a priority and ensures that the students treat each other equally and also faculty and staff with respect. There are so many clubs, activities, sports, and programs to get involved in and surely there is something for everybody. Through the schools attention to inclusivity and diversity, Richards students unite and form bonds that will continue to prosper outside of the school.

Richards High School has fostered a strong, friendly, and increasingly safer environment during my time as a student there. The school community is extremely diverse and there is a club or organization for everybody. We are strongly encouraged to get involved, and I have had an easy time making friends and balancing my school work with life outside of school.

AT Richards, it was a typical experience my son had. They were tough on discipline and left space for mental health concerns. Overall very caring staff. Most teachers were excited to be there.
The school is a great learning environment where your child will thrive. My husband went there as well as our children so the high standard has been consistent for generations.
