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.

I have enjoyed my time at Rocky Mountain. The best part is the Lacrosse team, even though its a Club sport and costly. I do not like the new grading system the teachers have, it is very difficult for my parents to know where Im at with grades on even a weekly basis.

Rocky Mountain High School has been the better years of my high school experience. From student and parent involvement, social activities, and college visitations, there's a lot of things to do here. Teacher's really do care about their students and make sure that everyone is engaged and learning the way they need to.

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.
