Being a two year substitute teacher who has seen many schools in Lincoln and Ouachita parish, I feel qualified to say this is the most notorious school in the area. There is a reason this place does not keep a full staff of teachers and has a hard time even finding substitutes to fill in. Richwood Middle is plagued by students with severe behavioral problems who make it almost impossible to teach anything. For the full-time teachers here, this job is truly a work of love. The school receives one star from me for being a very new and clean facility. Additionally, the faculty is very nice if not worn down as well. Other than that, there are no redeeming qualities to be found here. It's riddled with "last chance" teachers who have been kicked out of school elsewhere only to end up here. The students are just bad. There is no other way to put it. If the fact that they still get "paddlings" isn't a testament to this, I don't know what else is. Corporal punishment, or paddling, is the main form of discipline. What's worse is that kids take this is a joke...they welcome it. All in all, it's the worst school in the area, and you must be brave to try and teach there.

Richwood High School is an exceptional school, however many ignore this fact. One reason Richwood is thought of as a less than satisfactory school is because it's not well funded. However, the teachers are able to provide hands on education because they are a single A school. The school has been around for many years, so that basically tells you there isn't much wrong with the school itself. Every school has its problems,but Richwood High School doesn't have many to worry about at all. If you were considering either Richwood or Nicholas County High Schools, I would deffinately think it through thoroughly. While NCHS has many more oppertunites than RHS, NCHS also has many more students-making it harder to learn and understand what is going on in class. Richwood High School is made up of hardworking, trustworthy people and should be recongnized for such.

This school is amazing. The new principal is the best. What she has brought to the school in form of change has been huge and a success in a huge was the school spirit is up. The results are up and overall I would say our CRE school district is better off now than it was five years ago due to this change. Thankful!!!
