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 do like RHS. We have some really amazing teachers and some not so great teachers. There seems to be something about us that drives away teachers as nearly the entire staff has been replaced since 2015. We have some things that are great and some areas that need a lot of work across the board. None of these areas are bad but none are that amazing either.

Russell High School is a very small high school so there tends to be a lack of participation in activities which makes events not as fun, but on the other hand when the whole school participates it can be very fun.
