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:
“It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
