Looking for a welcoming environment? Well you won’t find it here! Let’s start with the environment: students here embody your average (slightly more exacerbated) high student. This means if you want an environment where you’ll reach your full potential (that is of course you have potential)
this isn’t the best place. One might argue that uhs/ap classes will help those with potential; maybe, but in the process, you’ll be very unhappy due to the insane amounts of homework and smugness/snobbery of the uhs students . The teachers and students in the uhs environment are overall unwelcoming for newcomers (clits and student preferences are prominent). Both schools aren’t conducive to the success and happiness of a person. A better school would be in between the difficulty (although doable if all energy is aimed is at academics) of uhs and the averageness if rincon and if the environment isn’t filled with BULL POOP!

I liked Rincon High School because of the diversity and culture. The teachers are well experienced with the school itself and know how to make every student feel welcomed and safe. We share a campus with University High School which gives us a different high school experience. This means we share our sports and electives, which I personally love because you meet other students that are not in your core classes. The outdoor part of the school is beautiful, we have a very well maintained garden which has, chickens, a garden with a variety of vegetables and plant life, all kept up by a group of students and teachers. Although Rincon High is not the most populated high school in the area, I like the size of the school and I do believe sharing a campus with the other high school is better. We all support one another and hope for the best for each other and all our teachers want for us is a bright future. Overall, my experience with Rincon High School has been amazing!
There are a lot of caring teachers with few exceptions. The science classes lacking resources to do experiments that could positively impact the student's understanding. The math teachers vary in the methods in which they teach, some are more focused on using programs like Khan Academy and others are paper-based and this disparity upsets the students. English coursework tends to be very demanding, especially in the AP classes.There is a variety of students from different backgrounds and ethnicities. Rincon shares a campus with University High School. The extracurriculars such as fine arts and sports really provides an opportunity to be friends with students from UHS, since these two schools can have teams together. Sports and fine arts deemed RUHS have proven to be mainly successful by winning awards and getting first place. However, this may also put pressure on the resources available to the students as both RHS and UHS have to share bathrooms, cafeteria, library, and computers.
