School is decent, not too bad. I like Mr. Byer and Mrs. Wilson. (best teachers)

The principal, Ashley Fulmer, is awful as the principal. I am praying she is moved to a different school for the 2024-2025 school year. She is dismissive, rude and lies. It’s really sad, this was such a great school before she came. My child doesn’t want to be anywhere near this woman. I would move my child to a different school but I just love the teachers. Again, I really hope she is not at this school next year…. We are all waiting for her to leave.

The teaching is pretty good. There are many clubs and activities and it is easy to get involved, it all depends on the students if they want to get involved or not. The art or theatre side of the school is pretty cool, athletic is cool as well, and STEM or science-related field is pretty good. The bad thing is there are a lot of fights here. Some students vape in restrooms and restrooms smell like drugs but that applies to every high school. I would say the diversity is pretty okay, but homophobic transphobic does occur here, so if you are sensitive, feel targeted, or are offended by gender/sexuality-related stuff, the school is not for you. Staffs are very nice and friendly, some cafeteria ladies are mean though, some are very nice. There are AP classes offered, and many programs that prep for college. Traffic at this school is very bad though. School lunch is better than many other high schools I know. They have tried to add many veggies recently which is good. No bullying I have seen so far, I don't even think bullying is a thing anymore. ASB is still pretty bad though, they spend money on unneeded things. ASB is kinda useless but removing ASB from the school is not the best decision. ASB is trying hard but the output is kinda minimum.

It's unfortunate that the school rating isn't higher. I have been attending RVS since the beginning of middle school, and will now be graduating in 2017. This program has provided me with new and different opportunities to expand my knowledge. All of my teachers put in effort to aid me in achieving my educational and personal goals. With the help of AVID, I have build new skills and got accepted to my #1 choice university. I'm proud to be a student at RVS.

As a student that is in 7th, I have a lot to say. The school can be a little intimidating once you are new, but if you are friendly and talk to people you find nice, you will feel more confident there. However, there are a few issues of drama since there are a few bullies that occasionally harass you, but if you find a way to make peace and chill a little, they can be pretty nice and smart. The staff is nice and the teachers are very kind and will help you with anything. I have been going here since 5th and overall, everyone can be nice if you can stay on their good side.
