I've had the best 3 years at Richland high school through the good and bad. Richland had helped me a lot I came into Richland a little behind because of covid and they pushed me so hard because they knew I was capable of achieving anything and they were so proud because I finally mastered everything and to this day I still work my butt off and I always thank the teachers that did help me get to where I am. Being at Richland I don't think their is any bad it's such a loving and caring school from the students to the teachers and the administrators everyone is so loving and welcoming and if you ever need to move to a new school I recommend Richland because of how welcoming they are.

I like the amount of low-level drama there is. The subjects that are taught are standard but most of the teachers make it fun enough. The pep rallies and PBIS activities are great for keeping up the morale of the students. One thing I would change, though, is the fact that the school doesn't have any classes focused on liberal arts, such as creative writing.

I have been at Richland schools all my life and i think that the high school is a good school. Some teachers don't know how to put in grades or they will lose the work that you have already done.
