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.

Royal Oak High School has shaped my adolescent years for the better. It has set me up and prepared me for college by offering rigorous courses and coursework.

Overall I really have enjoyed my time at Royal Oak High School. I feel that all of the staff is very friendly, they work hard and want what is best for the students. There is an abundance of resources and the environment for the most part if very good.

The sports program is biased and inconsistent, and policies are not available to explain player treatment even with special request directly to the athletic director.
