What a difference!, you know what to do, what to help, where to put your effort!! 50 years does makes the difference. I am truly in love with this school, and we are not going anywhere else.

Richland has a great Parent organization and the teachers here are dedicated and creative. Plus, although the test scores are high, they make many efforts to include science, the arts, physical fitness and all that fun stuff that test score focusing has taken away. Both the principal/vice principal are very active in the children's daily lives and do a wonderful job promoting school spirit. They know the children by name and are genuinely interested in their success and happiness. Read less
