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.

There are many amazing class options but the freshman classes are almost all bad. The engineering program should be amazing but students get almost nothing out of it with frequently absent teachers who don't follow curriculum. There are some great teachers at the school but you have to make it to the higher level classes. There is very little parking space and this issue is taken out on the students rather than solved by the administration. They also are not very good at teaching you how to actually go about applying to college.

The school and faculty themselves are excellent; the only thing that would make it better is more of my involvement (I am in clubs, but only a select few that are non-committing). It would be great if the school had a sponsored bowling league - like their softball or golf teams.

I liked the different classes that you can take at RTI and RTC to incorporate with the regular classes to explorer more career-based options. I would like to see the school recognize cheerleading as a sport and be more respectful of cheerleaders.

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...
