Even though it's not perfect the school does its best to welcome everyone and make sure you feel safe and at home. The teachers are nice and will work with you if you need any help. The students get along with the teachers very well and will get well educated by most. The School provides a good set of clubs and activities to support students for educational purposes and fun as well. My classes are pretty good and the teachers are very knowledgeable.

My experience at Roxborough High School was actually nice. I been attending this school since the 9th grade and I made new friends which are now my best friends. I have learned how to edit, film, and add affects to short films/movies we created. I learned how to speak some Spanish. I learned how edit and do different type of art using a computer.

I have seen the progress of this high school for the past six years and it has have major improvements lately. The community is much more engaged, the building well maintained and clean. The teachers staff and students are much more engaged with the community. There is certainly more room for improv...

It was lousy in the 1970's, I went there and it much worse now. It did not prepare you for college. I had maybe five good teachers in four years, the rest collected a pay check, sorry to say. And what goes on after school down the Ridge is horrible.
