Russell High-school is an amazing school to attend. I had a great experience through my years there. Every teacher and worker there were nice and very helpful. All the teachers were encouraging and understanding especially the counselors. Our students have great school spirit when it comes to sport games which makes the whole high school experience amazing. The only bad thing I could say about Russell is the lack of diversity there is. Other than that I felt in place and loved being there.

While Russell has pretty high test scores, the faculty is mixed. While some are excellent, passionate teachers, others couldn't keep their religious / political views out of classes.
