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.

Rolesville was a good school; it offered different types of opportunities. The most memorable experience was attending my first class. I had just transferred from another school, and I would say the staff and faculty were very kind. Rolesville High School also allowed me to have a lot of experiences with the clubs they offered.

I loved Roleville High School because it prepared me for my future and gave me many resources and connections to fall back on. I got into my dream College, UNC-Chapel Hill because of the opportunities and classes I was offered. Overall I had a great experience.

The best part of Roelsville High School is its diverse student population. Everybody in the school has their own ideas and culture leading to a blended community. The worst thing about Rolesville High School is the fights and code-red lockdowns. We've had four lockdowns during my time at Rolesville High School which is something that is hard for students and parents to deal with.

Behavior problems are out of control. S...

There's nothing inherently "worse" about these students, but they do tend to come from communities and families that have greater needs than t...

My son has done very well in this school. The music program in particular is fantastic. The music teachers promote a warm and encouraging environment and provide a multitude of leadership opportunities for students who are willing to put forth the effort. The academics are on par with other school s...

Like any other school RHS is a function of what the STUDENT makes of it and puts into it. All of the staff i have interacted with are very pleasant and truly try to put the kids 1st and set them up for success. I am very pleased with my son's experience there thus far.
