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.

Rantoul is a pretty great high school in general. I feel as though sports are a pretty big weakness, and the lack of sports success affects the overall school spirit, but there are people who still have spirit. The math department is really great, as well as social studies.

RTHS lacks leadership from administration. They do not hold students accountable for their actions, therefore respect for others is never learned. This is portrayed from the classroom to sports and many events. Academically, I get the impression the kids are just pushed through, just so RTHS meets s...

I've been out of RTHS for 3 years now, and I still believe it is a good school. Granted, there are some behavior problems that occur and external situations that students bring in, but that is the only thing I think the school needs to work on. Other than that, the teachers are helpful, there are pl...
