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.

Rural Retreat High School prides itself on top academics and athletics. It is in a very rural area, but the town makes you feel apart of everything. RRHS provides a safe space for everyone and the staff and students are top tier. The best school in its area.

Rural Retreat High is a small town school for grades 9-12. The teachers are helpful, however there is quite a bit of favoritism.

I really enjoy the teachers there. All of them want you to excel and see you pursue the career that you want. However, that's about it. They'll teach you material for that class, but no teacher has ever guided me on how to apply to college. My parents didn't go to college, so I need that guidance badly.

Bullying is a HUGE problem at this school, and it is never addressed. If any claim is filed, there is no follow-up and no punishment for the perpetrators.
