Rickards is what you make it. The pre IB program is good for getting ahead. The administration is nice and active on campus. The majority of teachers and understanding and create an impact on their students mindsets.

My experience at James Rickards High School was great. There are a lot of resources available to students but it's up to you to take advantage of what's offered. Administration is great and met some cool people that have become close friends.

I would love to see the bathrooms be more clean, and more teachers caring about their students. By understanding students circumstances, and not looking at them as just a number can help with students staying on track.

The staff is rude if you are an...
