I attended OHS from 1998-2002. As an alum of Open High School, I can proudly say that I grew into a lifelong learner and thinker because of the independence and quality of education provided by the teachers and staff of Open High. The small knit community and class sizes allow teachers and students to get consistent feedback as well as growth in different subject areas and personal matters. Teachers act more as mentors as they guide students through the knowledge. Self study and curiosity are encouraged and welcomed. I do not recall an emphasis on SOLs but I recall passing them all every year. Students who graduate from Open High School tend to be great additions to society. Most attend and graduate from a university with advanced degrees. The class of 2002 alumni mostly have Masters degrees and Doctoral degrees in their perspective fields. Most of us are still friends 18+ years later.Open High School is a TOP school within Richmond Public Schools.

Broad Rock has caring staff and administration dedicated to helping their students succeed.

As parents, this is the best decision that we could have made. We came from a private school in the first 9 years to move into the public school system where in Richmond is not highly regarded. But this school is the crown jewel of RPS. The quality of the teachers, counselors, students and administrators has been nothing less than spectacular. The challenge given by the teachers and administrators to the students could be overwhelming at first, but the way that the challenge is nurtured leads to a complete graduate that is ready for college. Students that come back to RCHS after a year or two of college credit the years spent here as the building blocks of seamless transmission to higher education. It is really a hidden gem in RPS.

Racism is being taught at this school. At least 35 of the states in the USA, have either Spanish or First Nation's names. So, when you say, Nevada, or California, or Texas or Colorado, you are speaking Spanish. The same for cities. Los Angeles, Amarillo, Albuquerque, Sacramento, San Antonio, Santa Fe, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Las Cruces, San Diego. How is this school supposed to teach proper Geography and History, if Spanish is not allowed. HOW ABSURD! This teacher is not a teacher. They are a white supremacist. Shameful, disgusting, un-American.

This school is the most terrible high school imaginable. DO NOT GO HERE.

Amazing School. Teachers are amazing and so nice. The students there are so kind and smart also.
