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.

I have had a great experience over the past two years at Richland High School. I have had great teachers that have taught me so much and have wanted me to succeed. The school spirit and pride here at Richland High School are one of my favorite parts of the school. It makes me feel connected and creates a positive school culture. We also have lots of clubs at our school and I have had a great time this year when joining Key Club.
