Our experience with this school is great the teachers are very knowledgeable and supportive. Being new to the middle school Al staff and teachers helped our child to a smooth transition.

My friend went to this school and she told me everything that parents don’t see inside school grounds. She told me that she got body shamed and kicked in her private area by A BOY, and guess what the principal did… they said no recess for the boy. Like that’s going to do anything. Also, she got bullied by this LITTLE BLONDE HAIR GIRL THAT SHE THINKS THAT SHE RUNS THE SCHOOL, she didn’t include my friend(note this : she was new to the school). I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL. Parents you should watch how your kid(s) are feeling after school ,because you might not know that they got bullied for doing nothing!!!!I’ll SAY IT AGAIN I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL AND DO NOT LET YOUR KID(S) COME HERE!!!!!!!

I am a parent that has had both a daughter and son graduate from RHS. Our experience was an excellent one. Both our kids were in the IB program and got a tremendous high school education. My son also was in the project lead-the-way engineering program.Our daughter went to Maryland and graduated Phi Beta Kappa, with a 3.9 gpa and she told me repeatedly that RHS instruction was better and the classes harder than what she often encountered in college. My son got accepted to UCLA's elite engineering program and is a sophomore doing very well after one year.The social culture is very inclusive at RHS. The kids seem to really enjoy the diversity. The homecoming queen and king are never the good looking kids but rather the nice people everyone likes and looks up to. Very refreshing.Except for maybe basketball, if a kid tries out for a school team, they're on the team. The amount they play may be limited at first, but they'll get to participate and make the friends and connections being on their school team provides. Both my kids were on multiple school teams. The school spirit is through the roof.The quality of the counselling staff and help for special needs kids are first rate.In the neighborhood we live in, a lot of parents sent their kids to private schools, like Good Council. Perhaps they were somehow turned off by the diversity at RHS, if you know what I mean. I could tell that their kids didn't get either the quality education or social experiences my kids got, plus its free to send you kid to public school. We have a very good high school available to us at RHS. Take advantage of it.
