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 th
Posted by a community member on 8/26/2025Rickards is the nastiest place I have ever been. They don't teach you much of anything and the teachers will let the kids do mainly what they want, there's probably a fight every day, and the school has 1400 kids inside of it with like 10 admin which barely give you suspension for the fights and I d
Posted by a parent on 11/5/2022Richards HS is the most unorganized and unprofessional school I have ever experienced. I moved to Tallahassee and hoped this school would live up to what I thought was a school trying to improve itself. We gave it a chance and have been disappointed every single time. The staff is rude if you are an
Posted by a parent on 12/10/2020Rickards is a good school. The students are typical teenagers and are good kids overall. The staff is down to earth and can relate to the students and understand the community.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis 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.Parent Review4mo ago - Oak Ridge Elementary School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI wish this school rating was better. My 1st grader has thrived at this school. I can't say enough about the staff. They are all so hard working and love their jobs. I can tell every time i go. My daughter has an excitement for reading and learning. That doesn't just happen. The environment here is conducive to learning. Dr. Smith and her faculty are good at what they do. The test scores seem low, but that more to do with the school's geographic location and the large number of underprivileged and underserved students enrolled. It should in no way be a reflection of the staff's dedication to their students.Parent Review3y ago - Bond Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePoor communication, staff and administrators are very uneducated about education and how to differentiate instruction to assist all students reach their potential. They are very retaliatory and are negligent when dealing with children. Between the profanity the teachers use and the behavior they lead with, I would keep my child away from this school but unfortunately majority of the children on s.s are doomed to attend due to zoning restrictions. If education tort and negligence was a name for a school, it would be Bond. Hopefully they can get the A they’ve been repeatedly attempting to obtain for years and have yet to achieve. A change in leadership is required for the school to grow further.Parent Review1y ago - Sakkara Youth Institute
