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.

RMHS isn't bad but I feel like there should be more resources that students can get without having to go the extra 4 miles. There are resources but they are difficult to access. I will say the guidance administration is very helpful and they have helped me multiple times with many situations.

It has pretty good sports teams. It also has a lot of different clubs you can join. The academics are good.

At RMHS I feel like the school is pretty standard for a high school. There are some departments that are better than others, but overall it is a decent school. If there was something to change, I wish the process for schedules was easier and less frustrating. Many students do not get the classes they want and their guidance counselors cannot shift their classes around to let them be in the classes they want, which is very disappointing and frustrating for many students.

HATE THIS SCHOOL and I still have three more years to go. There is so much bullying going on in this school, that my mind is going to explode. The kids here are snobby, really clicky, and are horrible to each other. For some reason all the horribly mean people ended up in Reading High.

Even average students at RMHS are more prepared for college than exceptional students from nearby communities. Having attended a selective college with many studen...

Adminsitration and Guidance are unresponsive to parent inquiries; literally they ignore repeated phone calls and emails.
