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.

Rio Linda High School itself is a pretty decent school and I love attending it. The staff and educators can be strict but they most definitely care about you and try their best to help you. The only cons I have are the students who attend the school and they impact they have on other staff and students.

The time I was there, there was a lot of safety at home games and the sport facilities were always cleaned for any kind of events.

Rio Linda is not a bad school, it recently has been getting changes towards safety measures, as fences were put up a year ago, it has been a fun time in this school for me, but of course my freshmen year was online due to Covid. It is a fun school to go to, just depends on your attitude towards school and how you take things. Some things that could change are the involvement kids could be, though I know it is hard to get many kids to do things.
