GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Rockwall Heath High School is genuinely a great place. The dress code is mostly lax, I've seen people with very colorful hair rather frequently and they seem to generally support LGBTQ+ plus. There's good academic opportunity through a dual-credit system and there are lots of classes through the Gene-Burton College & Career academy that can help you figure out what you want to do. Teachers, in my experience, were usually nice and forgiving, the kind that wants you to succeed.
