I'm on my last year at Rickover and I have to say that this school has taught me respect, accountability and leadership. The teachers here are great, friendly and they treat you respect as well. I've learned a lot being here. They have plenty of after school events and activities that will accommodate everyone. I'm happy that I chose Rickover. I just hope the college I attend will make me feel as welcome as I did here.

This school has lots of bullying going on. Lots of students who go here are either transferring or getting kicked out. It isn't the same as when my older son was at Rickover. My youngest son goes here, and doesn't like it one bit. He didn't want go come to that school in the first place, but I knew...
