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.

I have been at this school since 10th grade, i'm in 12th now. This school is a lot of experience with cafeteria food, sports and teachers. The cafeteria food is somewhat good not a lot i only eat the fries. The sports are really good like basketball, football and baseball, we have an all star player at our school and he plays basketball, so we kind of win all our games. the teachers are very nice

My experience at Richmond Senior was it being very disorganized and unprepared. Other than that it was a very fun experience and you can meet a lot of great fun people.

Absolutely horrible, way too many bullies and immature kids. Nothing to do, the education is horrible, the kids are wayy too perverted, so many school fights it's unsafe for ur children, there has even been a case where a child brought a gun to school. I don't advise putting ur child in Rshs and I def don't recommend living in Richmond County with all the druggies, killing, barely any jobs nor opportunities for financial success and good luck getting out of this hellhole if u live here .

Richmond Senior was a nice welcome after being in Charlotte Mecklenburg schools where kids were beaten up unconscience in the bathrooms, robbed, bullied, parents fighting in the main office, and gang violence was throughout the school. My child can go to school without having to see classmates die e...

There are only a few excellent teachers, and the rest are coaches. Well, that is a tiny over statement, but not unreasonable. I went into the school because my daughter was bullied by her fellow "honor" students, and she had repeatedly written complaints about it. I had checked her out of school as...

How does this have a four star rating? Please don't believe that. I graduated in June of 2013, and most of my graduating class did not go to top notch schools like one review said. If you, or your child has a decent head on their shoulders, I would recommend them attending high school elsewhere. I h...
