This school is extremely lacking in administration that cares about its students. They do not care about parent concerns. Special Education services are a joke. Teachers can behave however they'd like as they know that the administration will not discipline them. Traffic patterns and dress code for females is the administration's main concern. Do your child and yourself a favor and send them elsewhere. Notice that their Google reviews are set so that you can't read or leave reviews.

I started sending my teens here last year, as its our home school. I was highly impressed. I am a licensed teacher in another district with 15 years experience. I normally enrolled my kids where I taught because it was easier for me to match school calendars but now that they are old enough to be on there own, they wanted to go to RRHS with neighborhood friends.The staff is incredibly helpful and professional. I have always received a response from admin and teachers, within 24 hours. All inquiries were addressed swiftly. Many of the teachers are level II or III and most I have interacted with have advanced degrees, so they are subject matter experts. I also have an MA but most staff I've worked with are Pre-Level I or Level I with little experience and my kids didn't always get the best education.The rigger is high. My kids had 4.0 at their previous schools without trying. Here they have to study every night and they earned their 3.75. They also have AP classes and dual credit classes. I appreciate this so much, as a teacher mom. The homework is usually appropriate but some teachers do assign homework that is excessive and my kids have done homework at the dinner table, while we ate and we'll past their bedtime, to finish it. Studies show that excessive homework that takes more than an hour (this is just for 1 class) do not have beneficial outcomes. It isn't all teachers but teens shouldn't be spending 3 hours on homework after school, everyday for 7 classes. The school has a plethora of clubs and sports. My kids had lots to chose from and enjoyed all the activities. I will say my child was cut from sports this year, due to a new coach and they were devastated. That particular coach made comments about my child in front of other students and it got back to me, that was inappropriate. They are new to RR but I'm taking a star off for lack of training and professionalism in the sports department. We spent a large amount of time and money and I wasn't personally contacted as to why the cut happened. The former teammates are still friends and still come to my house and they shared the coaches comments. There is never a reason to comment on students appearance or parent involvement.Overall I am happy. My kids are adjusted and enjoy RRHS. They have friends and activities. It does suck a little that the school year calendar doesn't match exactly but it was the best decision to send them here. Everyone but the new coach is amiable.

Excellent experience and amazing teachers. My son loves going here.
