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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I loved how hands on this school was. Because there were very few students and you had the same teachers throughout high school, teachers were able to learn each students individual learning style and cater to everyone.

I've been a student at Richards since I was in 2nd grade, I am now a sophomore in high school. Over my years attending this school I've seen many people come and go, including many great friends and some of the best teachers. The teachers are not the best but they make an effort to teach us to the best of their ability. Our school as a whole is extremely small compared to other school, our athletic program isn't the best but its getting better as more kids are coming from other schools and the lower class men are coming up. The food to us is gross but hearing how other schools are I look at our food from a different angle.

The teacher at my school are very knowledgeable and hardworking. They put in way more time and money then most teachers. They are open to tutoring anytime when needed.They are very hands on and keep everything as realistic as possible. They truly do care and love the students they teach. There is no doubt in my mind that they would sacrifice their time and money to help any student in need. They are very consistent in grading and treat the students fair.
