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 been going to Richmond Schools since I was in kindergarten along with all of my cousins and siblings before me, I believe that school is good for people who don't want to go into a big graduating class and have time to meet with teachers and other faculty members Richmond is a good school and I believe that I have made a lot of good memories and friends here and going on to college will be hard, but I think I have been prepared enough from my counselors and other teachers to be ready for this moment.

I would like to see more classes or workshops preparing students for college or work force. I really enjoy that the councilor gives students a scholarship list. However, beyond the list, I felt like I was on my own figuring out how to apply for college and get to the place I need to be at.

RHS used to be a great school, but it's going down hill fast. Teachers give up on students who need help, many staff and faculty go on a paid leave for something serious all the time, and the students don't care anymore. Richmond itself is going down hill. Everyone is either in serious trouble at school, or on probation at some point. Richmond is trying to control the next generation in a wrong way.

Richmond High school is the worst school I have ever had to deal with. Unless you were born and raised in this town, the teachers and coaches are extremely biased. Students from out of town are not given the same oppurtunities in sports. They do not work to help the students with disadvantages such...

Academics and athletics are balanced, teachers are focused on the classroom and personal experiences of every student. Students are actively engaged in the specifics of their personal education.
