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 Richland Center High School was a good school but I feel they didn't prepare the students for college very well. Also as a high school student here, the revolving door of new teachers was a constant struggle. It made it harder to make relationships with the teachers to help make education better.

Very good Engineering, Band, and Art programs. In other aspects, not the most academically challenging.
