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.

Research Triangle High School goes above and beyond to prepare it's students for college. It fosters independence and critical thinking while ensuring that the students feel supported to break out of their comfort zone. The only problem that the school has is unsatisfied teachers, which leads to a high rate of teacher turn-over.

Research Triangle is a very inclusive school and provides many opportunities that support student improvement. Our school could work on elevating the voices of minorities and creating more student engaging events.
RTHS is a beautiful school but the new principal has turned the school into a very difficult place for teachers and students.Students and teachers have no say in what happens at the school, and there are constant changes being made without the knowledge of students and teachers.
