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.

This high school is fairly good, compared to my past school. The administration is involved, and does actually get involved when there are issues. The bathrooms and food aren't the greatest, but it is a good school. The teachers are prepared, and most teach their subjects well.

I think the best part is the fact that most teachers want you to do well in their classes so you can pass and do well in college. We also have a lot of AP and dual credit classes to be ready to get into college. The only thing I would probably change is the fact that in all math classes they changed the curriculum to only be able to take tests and quizzes for a grade and no homework, so if you don't test well you have to study a lot more than usual to get a semi good grade. The good thing is that we do have math lab after school where two math teachers come in and help students that need help Monday through Thursday.

At Rolla High School, I have great friends and pretty good teachers, but I worry a lot about how it prepares me for college and end up doing a lot on my own time. I hope that we get more resources and a better schedule in the future.

Rolla High School has well educated teachers and spends time with the students. High School is tough no matter where you go, it all depends on the quality of teachers teaching the students.

The school district has a long tradition of paying a lot more attention to the ""smart" kids, leaving the dumb kids to fend for themselves. This is mainly tthe result of Rolla being home to the Missouri University of Science & Technology, a world class engineering and hard sciences colleges. The pro...
