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 about going to RCHS is being able to study with my friends that are in my classes and having really helpful teachers when needed. The worst part would have to be ote because if your not in a sport or club it is useless to still be at the school.

Richland County High School has a lot of teachers who are actively engaged in the subjects that they teach. It also has a lot of sports and club opportunities. Because of where we are located there is not a lot of diversity.

My high school is a great school. The teachers are very supportive. I live in a small community so my teachers are also community members and friends. I am very fortunate to grow up in this community.
