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.

Overall I have had a great high school experience at Roanoke Rapids High School. I have taken their rigorous courses to stand out for colleges. I have been a part of five of their varsity sports teams for all four years of my high school experience. I have also been a part of the National Honors Society and student council clubs.

I have been attending Roanoke Rapids High School since 2020. I have only ever had positive experiences at Roanoke Rapids High School. This school is enjoyable because of the staff and students. Everyone is genuinely kind and passionate about your future. Their goal is to prepare you and teach you everything you need to know for life beyond high school. There is nothing I would like to see change as it is a great school to attend.

This is a great school to go to. There is so many clubs, activities, and sports you can get involved in. The principals are always involved with the students and try to push them to do the best they can. I will admit SOME of the teachers are pretty crappy, but most of them get involved with the stud...
