Rating 3.77 out of 5 320 reviews
It's been a real high school experience, my principal did his very best to give us all the tools required to succeed in life. He genuinely wanted nothing but the best for all of us!
Richards High School has fostered a strong, friendly, and increasingly safer environment during my time as a student there. The school community is extremely diverse and there is a club or organization for everybody. We are strongly encouraged to get involved, and I have had an easy time making friends and balancing my school work with life outside of school.
Richards High School gives students many resources for all types of things. They have counselors for AP classes that really help the students striving for higher education. They also have a great variety of classes. Me personally, I enjoyed being a part of the three Drafting/CAD courses that were offered at Richards High School, they introduced me to what I am studying in college at the moment, engineering.
