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.

Richwood has a lot of heart I love the community it just doesn't have a lot of resources. We need more teachers and a new school because I'm in pods and have never experienced an actual high school.

My experience at Richwood Highschool has been normal. It was probably a normal high school experience except for, my own issues. The best parts were probably the positivity the teachers showed and gave me. the worst experience is probably bullying, and some of the student's need to feel better than anyone else.

What I like about Richwood High School is the student to teacher ratio. We have pretty small classes at our school so it's more one on one with learning. I also like that I know a lot of people at my school due to living in a small community. What I would like to see change though is the discipline. There doesn't really seem to be an eye batted whenever something wrong is being done.
