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.

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.

It's a decent school; they recently added metal detectors to make us feel safer, but they made me feel more unsafe. They were easy to avoid, and I see the point, and in theory, it's a nice idea, but they didn't do it right.

I transferred to RCHS my junior year and my guidance counselor assisted me a lot with my classes and applying to colleges. I participated in two sports while I was there and the athletic director and coaches both take their work seriously and always put the students first. I was very grateful for all them for making me feel more at ease after I transferred.
