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.

I love going to school. I like all my teachers. They are always willing to help. The sports are probably my favorite part of school and the coaches, The only thing I would change is some of the teachers need to be less uptight.

I like the amount of clubs offered and that even the "popular" students try to involve everyone. I would like to see the school become more technological instead of doing everything manually and the building as a whole improved.

Parents can either make or break their kids. Some act as though they are still in high school and they live through their kids. But others are more concerned with how well their child is doing in school.

As a current parent and former student I feel confident in saying Dr. McGriff has changed this school. RCHS is an average school with average experiences and average expectations.
