Reynolds High School

Posted March 17, 2009

Reynolds High School is the best! I graduated in 2008 and currently attend UNC-CH. It was the best experience one could ask for in High School. Most all of the teachers genuinely care about their students and their well being. Reynolds is diverse and offers a place for any kind of student. Great athletics, arts and academics... Reynolds really is on top. I have attended a private elementary school, a private boarding school in 9th grade and Reynolds from 10-12th and Reynolds was by far my favorite. There are so many chances to get involved with different groups. I don't know any other high school where the principal knows you by name and speaks to you during class changes. I created strong relationships with my peers, teachers, administrators and my guidance counselor while at RJR and I wouldn't trade my experience for anything.

Most of the teachers are good people, and there are many, many different types of people. The hallways and stairways get very crowded and sometimes clogged, and we need a creative writing class, but the campus is aesthtically pleasing and sometimes kids play accoustic guitar during lunch ^_^ That's a lot of fun.

RJR is an amazing school. Everyone can find their place within the school and due to the fact that RJR is very diverse no one gets left out. With the new arts program students who are serious about their art can have an intense focus directly on their art while students less interested in the arts can continue with the 'normal' classes. The classes at RJR are small compared to most WS/FCS schools. There are tons of sports and clubs that welcome all students and the school has a general close knit feeling to it. No major cliches. RJR has an outstanding theater arts program and students have a chance to work in the amazing theater every day. Teachers are close to their students and make every effort to keep in contact with the parents. They are also very involved with student activities and keep the parents involved also.

What makes RJR and other schools in Forsyth exceptional is the opportunity for kids to go to the Career Center during 11th-12th grades. They can get away from the more distracting or unruly elements in the student body and get to a place where you can learn with other bright people. Teachers at the Career Center are fantastic and less worn-down because they can focus on being a teacher not a disciplinarian. Being in class, you can learn and posit intellectual ideas without feeling like a show-off. Teachers don't have to hassle you about chewing gum, wearing a hat or leaning back in your chair. Take absolutely as many APs as you can. I took 6 my senior year and I learned more than a year at a great college. I hope this is helpful
