This school is definitely a sports-cultured school. Much of the activities that this school provides involves being in a team. The school lunches provides is usually really good, because it's a private school and they manage their own lunches for students. With only less than 200 students in the student body, everyone knows each other, making it a very tight nit community.

I had the ability to "open up" in a small, Christian school environment. I have learning disabilities and RHP made me feel included and Kared about. I highly recommend this school.

I am very happy with the school. Two of my children have already graduated. One is still in high school. Most of the teachers and coaches are very caring and wholeheartedly committed to teaching the students. It is a small community; it provides a healthy environment for children and teens to learn...

terrible, i have no idea how this is still a school; they talk so highly of themselves and are afraid of the outside world; it says most students typically attend UCLA after graduation but in the past couple of years, only one has attended UCLA
