It’s a good school. Great in communication.

As a former teacher at RHS , I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. With the majority of the students below grade level, all the admin care about is passing students along and getting bonuses by making students take tests and courses they don't even need. Behavior problems are out of control. Students fight, do drugs, have sex, vandalize, do a lot of other inappropriate things daily on campus. The bathrooms are usually closed because of vandalism. More time, money, and focus is spent on kids who don't want to be there than kids who want to learn. These kids get left behind.There are so many classes without certified teachers. The overall morale is so low. The principal micromanages the staff. The office sectretaries are rude to staff, parents, and students. The overall safety of the school is a daily concern. Teachers are given an impossible work load with no restroom or lunch breaks and a ridiculous amount of duties, after hour meetings, and mandatory evening and weekend events without any compensation.There is definitely a racial division in the school and the principal tends to side with students and staff of his race.I wouldn't be surprised if this school had to suddenly shut down because so many staff members quit.This has to be the worst school I've ever taught at in NC.

Here for 2 school years, and fights were happening all the time last school year, the staff is lazy, judgmental, and the way the teachers teach is just flat out confusing. During the past two school years, there were frequent fights last year. The staff is unmotivated and judgmental, and the teaching methods used by the teachers are flat-out confusing.
