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.

This data needs to be updated. It's a lovely school that serves K-8th now. It's a really nice side of town too. Not too rural and there's tons of subdivisions around. Traffic can get pretty congested, but they're working on expanding that. Class sizes are not 17 to 1 teacher. That only happens in 1st grade classrooms. Last I heard we were over 1500 kids. Most classrooms are 25 kids to a teacher. They're building a brand new high school nearby too that will be a state of the art Engineering and STEAM/STEM focused facility. Of course there will be other options too, but it's the 1st in the state of SC.

We are now in our 4th year at RGS and love it. We have four children there ranging from Kindergarten through seventh grade. We appreciate the quick response from the administration and the love and care the teachers put into their kids.

The new principal has big shoes to fill and she is failing. Due to multiple issues this year, we have elected to find another school for our son. Previous years have not been an issue(been at the school for 6 years) but this year my child and a few others were unfairly punished and singled out consi...
