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.

I graduated from R.A.Long 10 years ago. I enjoyed the teachers passions and athletic programs. I felt supported by my coaches and teams and felt some teachers went above and beyond. The school lacked diversity in classes and the arts.

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.

My son graduated from RAL last year and had the best experience. Very well prepared for his 1st year of college. Cannot wait for my daughter to join in the RAL family this fall!
