At my time in Red River I have had many great memories as an athlete and a student. The people of this school are great and the teachers genuinely care for your education and are willing to make extra time just for you. The administrators are very fair and reasonable people. My favorite part about this school is the people and its culture surrounding sports and clubs even academics. My dislikes about Red River are the course choices as when I came in as a freshman the selection wasn't the best. Now they are making many options for students and making new facilities.

I've had a good time here. I've never felt like I was stranded with my teachers or facilities and the teachers of the AP courses are all experts in the class they teach and are able to answer every question I've ever asked.

I love that the staff members are always making sure that the student are successful. The teachers are caring, kind, and are very approachable when a student needs help. The school counseling department is second-to-none and is always there for students who need help with anything. Our administrative staff are great and represent the school in great ways.

Low. But there are only two in the “district” or town. Anything else of potential substance is too far away to attend. If I could send my student elsewhere I would.

This is a good school all around. The music and fine arts programs are incredible and many students have gone on and went to do great things. There are people willing to be your friend everywhere, and it is very accepting. Great school!
