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.

RJ Reynolds has a great campus and extended diversity. I would simply criticize the way that teachers tend to not care so much about students as people. I believe that teacher and student relationships are important and impactful.

R J Reynolds is a musical high school, which has a variety of spaces in which you will surely fit. The teachers are super friendly and don't label you because of your race or ethnicity. Plus, most of them speak Spanish so you can't feel lost if you don't speak English. It is a very beautiful environment and the principal is a sweetheart to everyone.
