The educators at the Academy of Richmond County high school, may be some of the finest I've ever met. The music program is one of the finest out there. There are a few problems with the restrooms, And some counseling help needed... But I think the school is on the right track with helping students in need. I wouldn't be who I am today without them.

Severaal year ago there were concerns when overcrowding was a problem (due to school choice) but since then and from what I see now, it is one of the best schools in Richmond County. The IB magnet program only enhances what the school has to offer. I have two sons who attend (...
