Maplewood-Richmond Heights High School

MRH approaches education with a lot of new ideas, which I think is important. From bringing farm animals and raising chickens, to taking field trips and job shadowing, there is an emphasis on taking learning beyond the classroom. Add this with the fact that technology is widely used in the school, and every student get a laptop to use for homework, and MRH seems like a private school for a public school price.

The physical facilities at MRH are wonderful, but as they say never judge a book by it's cover. If I could afford to move out of this district, I would.

After many many years in the school district I liked it here and there, but when the high schoolers play around they act as if they are bullying each other but it is playing. This is a major concern because if some one is to be bullied people will just think that its a joke. After 12 years ( Pre-K though 10th grade I'm sick of it i just flat out don't like it. To me it is like college they give you the work, don't explain it then tell you to just do it. I have dyslexia and yes i did have to find out how to spell it but they gave me no help what so ever with it.

It's a hands-on school with lots of great opportunities at hand. At MRHHS there's never a day when you don't learn something new.

I love Maplewood Richmond Heights because of the people and the teachers. The people because they are friendly and help you if you need help. The teachers because they are specific with they topic they are teaching, and if you need help with something, then they will help you whenever they get the chance. they give you a second chance to do your assignments. They have expeditions, and they always have activities.

My school offers great opportunities for people ready to step into the real world. They offer a laptop for every student that is used daily and can be taken home. The library is amazing, with lots of books and computers to get you interested in reading, doing research, or just taking a break in the cafe area of the library.
