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.

I've met so many friends as well as amazing teachers during my time at RFH. While I have not seen much discipline for misbehaving students I have had good experiences myself with teachers that are so helpful, thank y'all for everything :))

The education at this school is great. I learned a lot and was more than prepared to go to college and start a career, but the amount of discrimination I experienced at this school was overwhelming. I am gay and transgender, and I was harassed on a daily basis because of it. The people that I went to school with were horrible. If you love your child and want them to be safe, do not send them here. I experienced the worst transphobia of my whole life so far in this school.
