I had an overall very good experience at Richland High School. However, upon coming to college, I have realized that my high school fell behind in many ways. In comparison to other high schools, Richland fell behind when it came to AP classes, stem classes, lifestyle classes, and other programs.

Most of the faculty are very welcoming and supportive. Some are overly strict and not very understanding. I personally experience the usual good things. Some bullying here and there. I would like them to find some teachers who are more understanding.
