I have enjoyed my time at THE" James Rickards High School. I have learned so much about my self as well as education being a student. The teachers are super helpful and they have all the resources each student need to becoming successful.

It was an interesting experience when going to Rickards. Lots of walking since they had buildings all over, a lot diversely inclined with the vast majority being African- American. But it had lots of things that prepared us for college and working on getting scholarships, which really helped this year.

The IB program was very vigorous and difficult , but it prepared me for college. The campus was very hilly and administration was annoying to deal with

The staff is rude if you are an...

Rickards is a good school. The students are typical teenagers and are good kids overall. The staff is down to earth and can relate to the students and understand the community.
