I think richardson high school does an amazing job providing an outlet for the arts through their magnet programs. All of the programs give students opportunities they could have never had and accelerate students ahead in their career fields. These programs are very impressive especially for public school where all of these classes are free. The AP courses (offered at every grade level) are also a helpful tool when it comes to preparing for college and career goals. AP classes also provide a more serious learning environment and strive to keep students involved and engaged in the material that may find regular classes easy. Some things that could change really are issues every school experiences, lack of motivation in regular classes as apposed to AP, some teachers not attempting to teach outside the box and really reach out to their students and just small things like that but over all Richardson High School provides amazing classes and opportunities to their students!
What I like about Richardson High School is that a really connecting with the students and parents with the staff. They also really want the students have a great education and academy learning. Richardson High School have great opportunities for students and parents. Haves a lot of involvement in events and activities with the staff. Have a really safe and strong community. They are the example for all the Richardson Schools, and the district. Richardson High School wants to have the best and success for all the students and to be a eagle and become someone important in life.
I loved the diversity provided at richardson high school! There's no way a student couldn't fit in with a group of people because there is so much variety. Also the after school activities that exist are quite amazing and there's too much to choose from. For me i joined lots of clubs like computer science, cybersecurity, asian student union, debate, and even a cheese club. The administration will fund for many of the students and doesn't compress them and their dreams. There's also many passionate teachers that make it all worth learning at school. Of course there are some bad ones, but you have to push through those and find the teachers that fit with your personality. Educational opportunities are everywhere at the school and they provide lots of AP classes and allow hard working, smart, passionate students to challenge themselves. Anyone who is looking to better themselves or their kid, I definitely recommend this school to them.
