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, my experience was positive. Students at this school are very competitive, and this pushed me to take harder classes and overall be a better student. There are clubs and activities for every type of student and a place for everyone

Great school culture for the most part with teachers who are dedicated to supporting us reach our goals. I always felt I could go to a teacher and be honest with them or reach out for extra help. There are a couple of staff members who are inappropriate when it comes to using scare tactics to get students to complete work. Staff there specifically for supporting students with test taking and accommodations is pretty unhelpful.

The best parts about going to Rochester Adams High school are the classes and the teachers. Adams has amazing staff who genuinely care about the students. The teachers are passionate about the subject matter and the lessons are engaging. The worst part about going to Adams is the parking lot and the other students.
