GreatSchools Rating
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.

Richlands High School is great school to grow in. Located in a small town, where everyone knows everyone, they have great opportunities that are not typically found in such a small school. My best experiences come from their Engineering Academy, where students have access to 3D printers and earn certifications for free.

Everyone is so welcoming and there are lots of opportunities for students to get out of their comfort zone and try new things. I have got to attend many new events and classes provided through Richlands and have had lots of help to get to the place that I am at now.

I love the environment and people here, it's a tough and tight community, we all support each other and give a sense of positivity everyday. I hope to see it grow and become even bigger when I leave, with athletics, faith in god, and it's overall aroma of positive light, I hope to see it transpire .
