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.

At Roswell High School we have a variety of different things offered, from medical and all the way to cooking. We have new clubs every year and as the year goes they get better and better. The teachers are super nice and fun to be around. They always try to make the learning experience fun and exciting.

Well I just graduated not to long ago. And overall I had a great four years being a coyote. Even though I did have my ups and downs throughout high school I still pushed through.
