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.

It is a decent experience being here because of some of the nice teachers here.the bad parts of being here honestly is some of the other kids who don't act appropriately here and in the other district that mess up for myself and others.

My Highschool experience was ok, my freshman year wasn't so great due to covid because we had to stay at home, but I got through it. When sophomore year had came it was an ok experience and it finally time for me to become a high school student. When my junior year had came I was actually overwhelmed because it was just so many things required but it got better. My senior year was not so great it was kind of boring and we didn't really do anything but I did get to make memories with my friends and have fun with them.

One of the better RPS schools. My daughter loves this school. There is a no-tolerance for bad behavior rule here.

I personally graduated from this school with an Advanced Studies Diploma. The teachers are just fine. They take extra initiative if the child will let them. I do know that a lot of the students do come from poorer neighborhoods. I did, and there where no problems in the school. But one main issue is...
