I enjoyed it, all of the faculty are chill and enjoyed all the activities I was involved in. Overall not a bad school, felt safe before they the metal detectors in was vibing after they were put in as well
7/15/2024
As a student, I think Richards makes student wellbeing a priority and ensures that the students treat each other equally and also faculty and staff with respect. There are so many clubs, activities, sports, and programs to get involved in and surely there is something for everybody. Through the schools attention to inclusivity and diversity, Richards students unite and form bonds that will continue to prosper outside of the school.
12/3/2023
Overall Richards is an incredible school, where there is much diversity and inclusiveness. The parents are very involved in school life; constantly volunteering and helping the school. Through the teaching and in the classroom you can sense the strong love of the job that the teachers give off. Always willing to help extra, and pushing students to success in the classroom.
