In many ways theRock is a good school but not for High school. They fall way behind in what they can offer academically from public schools. Not worth the money.

My favorite thing about The Rock School is how warm and welcoming the environment is. The teachers genuinely care about the well-being and success of their students. The administration is also very involved in the day-to-day aspects of the school, even knowing every student by name. I feel it is a solid education that adequately prepares students for their future. Overall, it was a great high school experience and there is no where else I would rather have spent the past 4 years.
