I love my school, I like that I can be apart of a lot of activities and that there are a lot of things to do at my school to be involved in the schools culture. I think we spend a lot of our money on things like food trucks that are way to expensive sometimes and then they complain that they were poor as a high school. I would like to see our school put money into things that are more beneficial and things that would help our school and the community instead of just food trucks for a day.

Rocky Mountain has provided an opportunity for me to develop my creativity and leadership skills as well as develop friendships and trusting relationships with certain teachers.

has little to no diversity, does not make students of different ethnicity's feel welcome. When a child is met with a racial encounter expect them to say they can't do anything about it.

West Ada schools are very over crowded. I have had 2 students in this school. My youngest transferred to a private school her senior year because her experience was so horrible. My oldest later shared how awful his experience was. Both kids started in the district in Kindergarten.
