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.

As a scholar heading to his sixth and final year of Rocky Mount Prep, I have seen it all. It is a very friendly, small atmosphere when you are with the right people. However, It fails a lot when looking for a school that will make you college competitive ready in terms of academic accomplishment, sports opportunities and more.

My time as a student at Rocky Mount Preparatory has been a mostly enjoyable experience so far. The teachers are always easily accessible if you have questions, and the school is small enough that it is easy for the administrators to remember your name. If there is something I hope changes in the future, it would be communication between the school and the parents.

Hi my name is Kenniah, what I thought about prep is that is was a very nice school, but also has it downfalls which any school has. I've been attending prep every since I started high school. It has brought me great friends. The academics wasn't very up to par. Prep had teachers coming and going all the time.
