I am currently a student at Rosemont. I love the block schedule, I'm a senior now and can say I've done great with it. I only have to worry about 4 classes at a time, which is great considering I play sports in the spring. Also, its really easy to be apathetic towards school when you do the same mundane
... Read more things every day. So it's like a fresh start all over in February when we have new classes. Eight classes a year is great too! Not only do we get the core classes completed, we can have some electives as well. Most of the teachers are great, and the campus is kept clean. The SLCs are a joke though, and they should get rid of them. They didn't help me for a future career!Altogether its a good school though. Read less

I am very happy with the block schedule & disappointed that it may not be offered next year. The block scedule allows for my child to focus on fewer classes at a time for a longer period in each class but less time over the course of the year. I have been impressed with the quality of his teachers &

Me and my family are new to the area and I have just enrolled my son to start his Sophmore year. I recently attended back to school night and was very impressed with the teachers and staff. All my questions were answered and the teacher really seem to care, and thats what counts the most. After having

Ive seen alot of high schools in my time, but none of them seemed to please me. So I am happy to say that my son will continue and graduate from Rosemont High along with my other children.

With a thriving PTSA, great teachers, unbelievable campus (pool, gyms, music wing, etc.) and very positive support staff, I feel that Rosemont is an excellent school choice. A good selection of electives really makes this a place where the student can excel. The 'Link Crew' experience is extremely positive

The block schedule does not meet the educational needs of most students, and the school is simply using the schedule and the students to maximize funding. Freshman Counselor Mr. Kroeger seemed to be the only administrator with any heart, and many of the teachers I encountered were either dismissive

I just enrolled my children n Rosemont and I was very disappointed to find out that there are no AP or Honors Science courses and a very small selection of these courses overall. The lack of such classes decrease a students chance of above 4.0 gpa and does not allow for a competitive edge when applying

Nevertheless, the staff seem wonderful and dedicated; but, if you have children who prefer to take advanced courses, pick another school. Read less

I am a student at this school currently, and find it very welcoming and a more happy school than most. With many ways to get us as students to get involved and have a great high school experience. The teachers are great, but I do feel some classes need more challenge. Homework amount is so-so, not too

The major downside is the amount of freshmen and sophomores to juniors and seniors. Overall my first year at RHS is going very well, and I hope everyone else planning on joining the wolverines will have a good experience too. Read less

Amazing school facility. Very good, strict learning environment. Wonderful academics programs. The SLC's are a really wonderful way to prepare your child for his/her college and career life. Overall amazing school. The Music/Art's SLC or CAPA(creative and performing arts) is wonderful with amazing teachers.
... Read more Great courses available in and out of all the SLC's. If your child is not a slacker and really care's about learning, I would certainly recommend this school. It teaches you to be independent and take charge of your own life. Overall just an awesome environment. Read less

I feel the school is off to a great start. The administration seems to keep up with safety issues, classroom activities, and community concerns. The extracurricular activites are well planned and very diverse, so that most students can find a niche and be able to participate. I feel the level of parental
... Read more involvement needs some attention. There is a PTSA which meets sporatically and does not do much for the students and or staff. Staff are not that responsive and timely when it comes to returning calls/emails from parents/guardians. The School Site Council elections have not been held or advertised. Overall, I feel Rosemont High provides well for the students' academic and extracurricular needs. Hopefully, they will learn to include parents/families in the planning process. Communication via the email newsletter and phone updates. Learn to include us in the planning stages!! Read less
