Redmond High School is a great school that offers many opportunities in classes to take. There is a large variety of classes for students to take. Most teachers are kind and as a student you can build a good relationship with them. However, the school is very competitive and with the large amounts of students it can be hard to fit in unless you apply yourself constantly.

Though COVID was not a great my high school career, I'm confident that Redmond High School is a good school. As an art student, their art facilities are fantastic. Across my 4 years, there are plenty of different classes I could take from video games to tech theater. I've learned a lot these past 4 years and I'm satisfied with my education.

Honestly horrible. I transferred to this school from the East Coast, so I'm pretty sure that accounts to why my experience was so different here. I might be biased, but that doesn't change the fact that this school is a horrible environment. Most classes are dumbed down so everyone could graduate, b...
