School Performance
For 2010, Rickards earned an "A" as its school performance grade for the first time in its history. The celebration was accompanied by a pep rally.
In 2009, however, Rickards earned a "D" as its school performance grade, making it the second-lowest ranking high school in the district, above Amos P. Godby High School. This was down from 2008 and 2007, when the school earned a C.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or performance:
“School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
“O world, world! thus is the poor agent despised. O traitors and bawds, how earnestly are you set a-work, and how ill requited! Why should our endeavour be so loved, and the performance so loathed?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
