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.

At Russellville High School it has been pretty good. Our band program is really strong and we have had really interesting halftime shows for my three years of being at Russellville. The staff was pretty good, and I've only had a few teachers who were basic and didn't do that good of a job at teaching.

This is my first year in a public school (I've been homeschooled all of my life) and I enjoy the social aspect of school very much and love making new friends and getting to see people from my youth group. I don't like the wasted time in classes and would like to see a stronger focus and funding for students who want to pursue careers that aren't "normal".

I have been with Russellville High school for all 3 years they provide. Overall a good experience, students make the environment good and fun. The only thing I do see would need improvement is the staff yes they are professional but it's in their organization. Me as a senior we have divided graduations which is not something I want but that's on the school board.

What an opportunity. I wish every child had the opportunity to attend this school. This school has programs from Automotive to Engineering. The doors this school could open for your child is numerous. The staff is nice and the building is inviting to parents. If you are looking for a place that will...

Russellville High School employs weak teachers. Some do not hold degrees in and are incapable of teaching their assigned subject. The extracurricular opportunities are poorly led by individuals who do not care for his/her students (i.e. band). The school itself reflects that of an asylum - white wal...
