Parents, avoid this school at all costs. The quality of education has deteriorated in recent years and continues to go downhill. Parent/teacher communication is poor. The curriculum is weak and needs to be more rigorous. This year, my daughter has been bullied by a particular 'clique' of girls. In the
... Read more few weeks since school started, my child has maintained her composure in the face of frequent name-calling and insults, only to come home and cry her eyes out. My daughter shouldn't have to go through this just to get an education. I am already making plans to send her to another school in the area. This entire experience has taught me that a school with slightly higher than average standardized test scores means nothing if a child doesn't feel safe there. I would not recommend this school to any parent looking for a 'good' high school. Read less

I have had two students graduate from this school. Both NHS students. I am very satisfied with the administration as well as the faculty and staff. Both of my children are excelling in a private university in Texas and it is because of the excellent prep at ROHS.

Parents are extremely involved, there are plenty of extracurricular activities, and the counselors and teachers go beyond expectations in regard to college preparation. Upon moving to a large, respectable university, I have learned that ROHS has done far more than most other schools represented here

This is the only school district my child has ever been in & she is a freshman now. She has always made all A's & honor roll until this year & still only a few high B's but that is because there are many pregnant teachers & many uncaring subs & not enough grades being taken out of laziness on both the

They actually tell them that they were too tired or too busy or their favorite show was on & they did not have time to put together a test so just read x amount of pages & take a test rather than testing on what is & has been taught. It looks like the trench coat mob with all the black hair & clothes & lot's of teen pregnacies. Over all better than most. Read less

After researching several area districts, we moved our family into the Red Oak ISD due to the school system. As a parent of 2 ROHS students, I feel the leadership provided is the best. We have a principal who is a strong example to our students and teachers. I am greatful for the experienced teachers

The staff dedicated to the safety of all children in the district makes them feel safe at school. Though the district is not without some faults, it is certainly far better than average and I am thankful for the education they provide for my children. Read less

Red Oak High School a couple of years ago would have earned a 5+ rating; however, the high school principal's performance is extremely poor. His emphasis on matters that are irrelevant and his lack of interest for items of importance is reflected on a consistent basis. He also does not care about disabled

I think the Red Oak school district is just fine. I was in grades 6-12 at Red Oak and finished in 1982. The teachers were all excellent in the classes that they taught. Discipline was carefully watched to assure the students had good behavior. Although, I have since moved out of the Red Oak area, if
