I would have to definitely concur with Christian. I graduated from Richards In 2005 and I made the decision to strive for a higher education- attending college was not the eases thing for me coming from Richards but, it was not the teacher s fault in fact I will be the first to say I think we had great teachers it was just some of us, myself being one that picked and choose the things we thought were important. I really respect Richards a lot and I feel until you really understand the definition of growth you will have the negative attitude towards this institution as such.

well me as a student at richards career academy totally diagree with the rating that they gave my school. Yeah it might not be the most great looking school and there are some students there that could careless about getting educated. But theres actually students that care and do there work maybe not alot but it all depends on the student not the school. The school dose not decide on the actions the students take to benifit themselfs, it all depends on the student. somecare some dont simple as that. some complain about how bad the school looks and how the school dose not get enought funding but the truth is that it really dosent matter how good the school looks as long as theres books to learn and teachers that are willing to teach.thanks to the culinary career i've had many great experiances that will benifit me in the future.

Agreed, many of the teachers strive to provide the best academic education possible. This is not to say that all teachers do the same. The worst part of this school is its location. I remember the many fights that took place in school. I would not recommend anyone to attend this school.

First of all for the record let me just say that if you are going to negatively attack the educational and disciplinary actions of this particular school, please do so intelligently. I am a product of this particular school and I feel that it helped me to better myself academically and socially. Richards also helped me to flourish poetically. They expressed complete confidence in my culinary skills and also gave me the limited opportunity of going to both Paris,France and London,England. Don't blame this school for the behavior of these students who refuse to succumb to higher education. These teachers really do try and I personally recommend that this school be re-evaluated and respected.
