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.

The best part about RCHS is that there's always something going on in the school. The worst part is that there are some parts of the school that aren't as well maintained as others.

I enjoyed somewhat of my experience at RCHS. Though we are very far behind other schools concerning academics and college readiness.
