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.

Proud to have been a student from pre-k to 12th grade. Mr. Kirby was my favorite Spanish teacher. He always cared and showed concern with my education and wellbeing.

I am a student that goes to the Richland county high school I also when to the Middle school here. The kids here are just horrible and mean to one another some of them call out racial slurs things or even homophobic slurs it would be an excellent school for kids to be in if there were nothing like this some kids and parents have had the opportunity to talk to people about it and the problem that there is.

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.
