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.

The best part of R.A. Long HS is the school spirit and the teachers here are really helpful and resourceful, the worst part is how strict the teachers are about dress code and technology use. For example, I finished doing all of my work and I had some free time left so I decided to play a game like Cool Math Games or Hoodamath, they instantly restrict it. I would like the school food to have better options and higher quality ingredients.

My overall experience in R.A. Long High School has been okay. The teachers are fine, it's just some students are really rude. This never happened to me, but I've seen a rude students either pick on others or make rude comments.

Teachers are genuinely wanting you to succeed, and are always here to help you out whenever you need it. RAL is also a very diverse and judge free zone.

They WORST school in Washington State. Would never recommend them to my worst enemy. "90% of the Staff should be sacked an they should start fresh." My Opinion.
