Academy of Richmond County High School

I don’t care for it at all and am currently looking to relocate for the sake of my attending high schooler and my other two children who will soon follow.

I think ARC is a great school. I have 2 children that attend ARC, and I am also a graduate of ARC as well. I think the teachers are overall very dedicated to teaching and wanting to make sure the students are ultimately achieving towards graduation. They are eager to meet if a problem was to arise, and help facilitate towards a solution. I do however think ARC is a large school, and with that sometimes the classes seem big. Students may not necessarily be afforded more individual help; however there are many opportunities for after school, before school, and Saturday school for tutoring and to make up any missed assignments. My kids have also enjoyed the many extra curricular events such as football games, pep rallys, clubs, black out day, morning news show, and so much more. Overall ARC is a great school!

Richmond Academy (ARC) is currently the fifth oldest public school in the nation. The historical nature of ARC gives students something to be proud of and to appreciate. I am currently a senior at Richmond Academy and I believe that the cultural makeup of my school is great because there are people from all types of backgrounds. Rarely, does a school as culturally diverse as ARC be as racially intertwined as it is and I credit this to the adaptation of our school's motto "Sawubona". Sawubona helped further the family aspect of Richmond which I value the most about my school. I think people should know that ARC has a great mixture of academics and athletics. I appreciate Richmond for this great mixture because it encourages students to be well-rounded. We know how to balance our studies with having fun. Our school also focuses heavily on community service which goes hand-in-hand with our mission statement to become a productive citizen. Overall, Richmond Academy has left a lasting impression on me and I am happy that I had my high school experience here. I will always be a proud Musketeer! #Classof2014

The co-taught classroom is willing to adopt things that help ALL the students.In 7 years of teaching this seems to be the best staff that I have ever worked with.
