   1. Positively Charged
      • 2023-24 Balanced Scorecard summary
      Balanced Scorecards came out yesterday. We have shown great improvement across the board. SES and WEMS have improved so much that at this rate, they may have no red designations next year, which would be a great achievement. For RCHS, though we are in the red for Math Achievement and Attendance, we are at pace with most other high schools in WV. Overall, all schools are moving in the right direction, due to the hard work of the students and staff.
