5/1/2025
I have never had a teacher I didn't like. Ever teacher at the school is amazing. The school offers very difficult classes but the school offers tutoring if you struggle.
3/12/2025
There are lots of different clubs and activities to try. Lots of alternative options, like Woodruff, D2, online learning, and IB are available. It can be hard to get support at times as the guidance counselors each have a large caseload. There is clear favoritism shown by certain staff members that make other students uncomfortable. Some teachers are not helpful.
2/26/2025
Overall, Richwoods has potential. There are many teachers who care about students, but not all. The school isn't the safest or cleanest. I wish the principals were more engaging with the students, And the facualty showed that they care more.

Richwoods is a very good school. I had some difficulties and the teachers were very helpful

The school caters to the lower half of the population and devotes too much focus on the behavioral issues of the minority. The majori...

Richwoods has changed in the past few years with the closing of Woodruff High School. Student safety issues and rapid turnover in the administration has crippled teachers' ability to teach. My daughter graduated from the IB program last year and was lucky enough to land in an Ivy League college, but...
