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.

It's a pretty good school but they like diversity and I feel as if they don't handle racial issues well. I can say though there weren't many racial issues and the teachers do seem like they want you to succeed.

I enjoyed attending Royal Oak High School. I was very involved in the arts program at the school, which I found to be very strong. We could have used more funding, though, rather than our funding going to useless televisions. I also had mostly positive experiences with teachers, but had a few bad experiences too. Overall, I would say the school is worth attending.

My experience at Royal Oak High School was cut short due to Covid-19 and then after starting the dual enrollment program, my last 2 years at the school were mainly outside the building. From what I've experienced within the first 1 and a half years is making a few friends and built a few relationships with teachers. However since I wasn't involved in any of the sports or activities at the school, my high school experience was very quiet and short.

Extremely terrible school. Would not recommend. Free speech is important, but letting students create a program founded by someone who is one of the most HATEFUL people to ever exist is insane. Absolutely ridiculous and horrible school.

Harassment is protected at this school. I have submitted a number of reviews trying to outline the issue but they have been removed. The athletic director is biased, teachers appear openly sexist, and students who harass other students are protected. The principal has no time to speak to parents eit...
