I have enjoyed my time at Rocky River High School. I have a few other private school options, but chose this path, due to the high standards they pace on their students. I have excelled in extra circulars, and academics, and balance both well. I have receive help and guidance where needed, and know my goals will be achieved upon graduation.

Rocky River High School was an excellent school overall, but it wasn't always the greatest. There was a big culture around getting straight As and being in several different clubs, and the kids who didn't were almost looked down upon. Other than that, I wouldn't take back the 4 years that I went there.

Throughout my four years at Rocky River High School, I have been very pleased throughout the experience. The extracurriculars are great, and the people are even better. The school holds itself to a very high academic standard while having very intelligent students graduate as well.

Out standing school. I have sent three children through the system and could not be happier. They prepared the kids for their future in college, work, as well as life. There is a reason RRHS is in the top 5 schools in Ohio year after year.

What makes a school great is the environment that surrounds it, unfortunately the environment of RRHS is subpar. I am a recent graduate from RRHS (class of 2016) and took AP classes and graduated with a 4.56 GPA, but that is all based on my dedication and hard work, not the school itself. If you are...
