I went here for all of middle school and the social experience was absolutely terrible. The teachers are mostly amazing but besides that it was terrible. I only put no because the social side of life tends to be more important but I still love the teachers even though a lot of the ones I had left I still want people to experience the ones left.

This school is a great school. My son loves to go in this school because everyone is friendly and teachers are amazing as they are really supportive and hands on to their students. This school encourage the families to be involved in school activities and be inform on what’s going on to their school and programs. It also offers IB program and it is a magnet school which is great, their teachings are way more better than other public school here. I highly recommend this school. I think this site needs to have more updated ratings and school evaluation.

Rickards is an awful school. Beset with a fossilized administration, devoid of interest/knowledge about the student body. Further, one gets the sense there is a cabal, a Clinique,- an in group among the administration that maintains a stasis even if incompetence and scurrilous behavior (including the voyeuristic, objectifying golf cart crowd/drivers). Take a look at the Dept of Ed./Professional Practices website and you’ll find Rickards specializing in seeking out those of questionable moral character. Don’t risk your child’s sense of self, intrinsic motivation and emotional well being by placing them at Rickards.
