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 would not recommend that any student go here. I experience racism and discrimination from faculty and peers.

My experience at Rio Americano High School was overall smooth sailing. I did not have much problems with my education, there was a good selection of courses, and I did not have big problems with any of my teachers. I just did not have an enjoyable experience culturally, we did not have big school spirit compared to other schools so our student union wasn't amazing, but besides my cultural experience Rio Americano wasn't bad.

I choose Rio Americano high school because of their Civitas Program which is a unique program that teaches us politics and citizenship. I would recommend if you want to work hard but if you're not a hard worker then don't. We have some pretty good teachers and councilors. We have good sports and each year they got better.
This review is an update to our son who is now in 11th grade. Rio, like any school, has issues. The schools needs more counselors. Each graduation year has 1 counselor… so up to 450 students per counselor. This is not acceptable. Long waits for students to talk or our phone calls getting answered.Cl...
If your child has a learning disability, is low income, or has any mental health issues DO NOT SEND THEM HERE. Rio Americano staff and some teachers provided little to no resources, denied students accommodations, and were frankly rude while doing it. The counselors (exept Mrs. Jensen) do not care a...
I'll state upfront that COVID and the stay-at-home order along with distance learning definitely put a damper on my child's high school experience. That said, this school lacks unity and school spirit. "Rio", as it is called, is a school where, for lack of a better word, the snobs go. The affluent w...
