Richland High School is a great school with fantastic people, but it does not prepare anyone for a future in STEM. Our arts are great, but STEM not so much. I want to see better course offerings in math and more qualified chemistry and physics teachers.

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 did not like anything about Richland High. There was a ton of underage dating, teachers flirting with students and very poor academics. The school was so racist. Some of the blacks didn't want to be around the whites it was vice versa and if they did it was a problem. They had tons of jumping going on it was like a trend. No matter who it is or how simple it is they do it. Everyone in the whole school just needs a powerwash.
