Richmond-Burton High School

I have had 3 children go through this school and with each and every one of them they were treated like they didn't exist because my family wasn't "in the click". All 3 kids were excellent athletes and played on travel teams all of their lives. My kids were even recruited by travel teams because of their high skill levels. But at RB they sat the bench all of the time because they weren't part of the click. Do not send your kids here unless you intend to donate your time, money and kiss up to the click crowd!

As a student at RBCHS I really do not like this school. If you don't play a sport or if you aren't super smart or your parents don't donate half their pay checks every month you are nothing. Things get stolen from locker rooms even when the lockers are locked and people smoke in the bathrooms. The student body is very good with ranking high on tests but as people they are the biggest jerks ever. Freshman year bad rumors were started and nothing was done about it. It's just kinda like a "wait it out and things will hopefully get better" attitude. There's people that either love RB or they hate it. There is no in between.

I have had three children go through the school. All 3 have been very successful in college. Excellent, dedicated staff and administration. Great small town school with wonderful educational results.

I attended this school for all four years of high school and, after talking to students from other schools and comparing how I've done in university compared to others in the state, I have to say that I lucked out into going to this high school. While it's not perfect (it needs some work in the fine-arts department) most of the teachers are really good and they do a great job of preparing us students for the future. My biggest complaint would be how overly strict it got over the years I was there. ID's were required to be worn around the neck and it was enforced to an almost ridiculous degree despite being in an environment where almost all the teachers know who you are in the first year.
