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.

T.F. Riggs High School is one of the best schools for creating connections with all students and staff. We have several programs that make everyone feel welcome. Gov 2 Gov is one of the greatest programs: teaching students to become leaders and mentors throughout the community and state. Like every school there are flaws but TF Riggs is one of the greatest high schools that you can attend in the state. We have amazing staff and administration that only wish to push students to excel.
