I think Roxana High School is a great school to go to for academics. One thing I do wish was different about Roxana is the student and teacher involvement. I wish teachers at Roxana were more involved in the student activities, such as sports events, pep rallys, pep teams, and other fun small things other schools do. If the teachers seemed more interested in the non academic side, students would be more willing and motivated to sit and work in class.

What I love about Roxana is that all of the administration really just wants to see every student to succeed. It is very cool that as a student you have the chance to actually be able to go to any teacher or even the principal and just talk to them like you have been friends forever. I also really like that there are lots clubs and sports you could join and the people make you feel welcome. Also if there isn't a club that you are interested in you have the chance to make your own and all you have to do is talk to the principal and get one faculty member on board and it will probably happen because we did it. We started a game club and esports team my Freshmen year of high school. I really have enjoyed my time at this school and it is sad that it is coming to an end because it really is like one giant family.

I've enjoyed the variety of sports that I've been able to participate in on the varsity level (football, bowling, golf). I also like that it's a small school and that everyone knows just about everyone on the campus. I would like to see more STEM based classes/electives available for the students to take. I would like to see more engineering based clubs or activities such as a FIRST Robotics.

Awful. While not the worst school in the world, the constant changing of schools schedules and polices prove to be a waste of time, along with a plethora of incompetent teachers and stuff that makes little to no sense. For example, Finals in every class. While having mandatory finals is said to prep...
