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.

My experience at Radford isn't the very best in my opinion. The best part of the experience currently is that I'm in all the classes that I want and I feel that the resources provided do really help to get me to where I want to be in the future. The worst part of the Radford experience is that I don't really fit in exactly. I would like there to be a change in the students open mindedness to open themselves to making more friends.

My experience at this school was amazing. The culture here is unlike any other. Over the past 4 years, I have gained many lifelong friendships that I will continue to pursue well after high school. The teachers and staff at this school are so laid back and very lenient with you.

Overall Radford is an amazing school. The school is made of many military dependents but that's what makes it diverse. There are locals here making it even more diverse. Many teachers give food along with our cafe. Teachers and administration are so helpful and will be there if you ever need anything and help you out with anything. Students learn and the materials and resources are provided for everyone. So much equity and lending hands here.

I graduated from Radford and it was not great. I was bullied and was left to deal with it on my own. The sad thing is some of my worst bullies were teachers.

We are military and stayed an extra year so our son could graduate here. We came from Viriginia, and he was more challenged by the higher level classes here than there. Radford's new principal is very responsive and supportive of academics and fine arts, in addition to athletics, which has tradition...
