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.

My experience with Richmond-Burton was probably very different from many other schools. This school was so small that everyone knew everyone. Because the school was so small, it was hard to not engage in the clubs and sports. I loved being apart of all my clubs and sports, especially NHS which I feel like I benefited a lot from. Being a part of such a small school was tough yet rewarding, and I'm glad I had that school as my family instead of a larger one. I feel like majority of my classes did better prepare me for college, but some of them felt useless for it.

Richmond is an amazing high school with the best teachers that I've ever had out of my schooling experience. I truly believe that because those class-size are so small that I'm able to get one on one help from my teachers easily. As for college problem my counselors and my school make sure that I had what I needed to be able to go out until the real world which I really liked only thing that I would say is negative about my schools that we don't really offer many AP classes of any five at most. But throughout the time I've been there I've taken a couple of honors classes which I've thoroughly enjoyed it as my teachers taught us with ease I made sure that we had a full understanding of each topic every second of the way. Of my four years of being here I couldn't ask for a better school to be a part of and at the end of the day I'm very proud to be a rocket.

Although I'm only a freshman, RB is an amazing school. It truly cares about its students. We are a small school in numbers but large in heart and determination.
I have had 3 children go through this school and with each and every one of them they were treated like they didn't exist because my family wasn't "in the click". All 3 kids were excellent athletes and played on travel teams all of their lives. My kids were even recruited by travel teams because of...
As a student at RBCHS I really do not like this school. If you don't play a sport or if you aren't super smart or your parents don't donate half their pay checks every month you are nothing. Things get stolen from locker rooms even when the lockers are locked and people smoke in the bathrooms. The s...
I have had three children go through the school. All 3 have been very successful in college. Excellent, dedicated staff and administration. Great small town school with wonderful educational results.
I attended this school for all four years of high school and, after talking to students from other schools and comparing how I've done in university compared to others in the state, I have to say that I lucked out into going to this high school. While it's not perfect (it needs some work in the fine...
