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.

Theatre is definitely the absolute best part of Rowlett High School! Everyone in that department is so amazing to work with, and the directors really bring it all together! I would not be who I am today without them. The only thing I want to see changed is college readiness because I'm a dual credit student, and I don't even feel ready.

The best part about Rowlett High school is definitely the culture. This school shows you so much school spirit it honestly can be overwhelming, but that's what I love about it. The worst part I would say might be the food. I mean I haven't seen a public school that has incredible food yet. I would definitely like to see more control over the fighting in the school. It's not the worst I've seen but it's definitely not the best.

I enrolled in Rowlett high school in 2024 as a transfer student from Vietnam. This is my first time attending high school in the United States, and I have to say this is an amazing experience for me compared to my two years I used to be in high school in Vietnam. To be honest, I am not sure if Rowlett high school is better than those other high schools or not, but for me right now, it is really good, especially the teachers here.

It's a little bit to strict with the tardiness giving you a suspension for just 1 and instant consent to search if you are but other then that I guess its pretty cool some of the teachers have nasty attitudes but other are really nice and you can tell the students enjoy being in there class compared...
