2/9/2026
The choir and theater programs were definitely the best part of my high school experience. The choir teacher is probably the best teacher in the entire school. He is so talented and so good with students. I feel that our school district has not systematically taught us how to be able to write like a college student. We have never really had a writing curriculum. I also wish that teachers would pay more attention to the things that happen in their classes. There are a lot of micro-aggressions happening in class and throughout the school and it is never recognized. I would like to reinstate the Student Advisory Board to help make the culture and school community better in our school.

As a student from Rochester, the school is great. The teachers and how they teach is all so different and great for all types of students. I would say the old problem is other students, but the staff does a well job trying to make sure everyone is treated eith respect.
9/9/2024
I love the staff at this school and the involvement in our football and other sports. Academically I think we have wonderful teachers that care about the students. The worst part is somethings to some staff members can be more important than others

This used to be a good school district. This district is "small town" thinking. They allow discrimination, and bullying starting with administration, which allows the students to follow in their footsteps. The board supports the superintendent and will not listen to parents and students, so there is...

Sending two kids through Rochester. It is a small town school with small town mentality. Lots of nepotism. Many teachers were students at Rochester, most have college from same universities. No place for creative kids. Homework every night. Lots of bullying. Can't wait for them to graduate out of th...

I went to Rochester High School and received an excellent education and currently have been a parent with the school district for 3 years now.

The entire community of Rochester is top notch. It is clear that the education of our children is top priority in our town. The schools provide a very quality education that is well rounded with academics as well as strong theatre arts and sports. Way to go Rockets!!
