My personal experience at Rocky River High School was good. I would like to see the spirit of the school change. Students don't want to engage and bring school spirit understandably. I think they can improve on parent involvement, better courses, more school spirit, more opportunities for students, counselors, etc.

Rocky River High School is a great place to get your education tho it can improve thats great because it means that the school has not reached it top peak there are great teachers all around the building and the school is overall a great learning environment although the school could use some better management on the admin side but that's all going to come through the process of the school evolving
