Rockwall High School has been a great place for my children to attend school and prepare for college. I can honestly say that teachers and staff care for students and go above and beyond to see each child succeed. I am so thrilled that my two have been a part of this great place!

I'm an A-student who strives to do my best, but my fellow students appear to have no motivation and it's sad. There also seems to be no control with dress code, fights, and no motivation. I hate how some of my schoolmates will not go on and succeed in life.

This is a great school! Me and my metal-head friends fit here nicely. The whole 'you have to be rich to fit in' thing has subsided because of Rockwall-Heath High School opening. This is an awesome school!

I attended RHS as well as the Freshman Center and graduated in 2003. I did not enjoy my time there at all. Coming from a poorer family I could tell that RHS was rich and they liked rich people. The staff was mixed, I had teachers who were great and teachers who were horrible. But if your child has the

Don't be surprised if you are disappointed with Rockwall Schools after moving to the area. In my experience, as a student (a good student), it does not offer enough for gifted students or remedial students. Although some teachers are good, there is an air of accepted mediocrity at the school. The school
... Read more doesn't challenge students intellectually. Instead -- and this may be intended or not -- it is a school that homogeonizes its students. The best student, to this school, is the ordinary student. If a student excels, it is because he or she has the drive, not because of the school. Go somewhere your child can be challenged and can grow. Rockwall High School is not that place. (Feel free to send your kids to RHS, though, if you care only about sports.) Read less

My cousin moved in with us after dropping out of school and determined not to go back. We got him enrolled in Rockwall for a last chance. He dropped out his sophmore year, and when tested, only had a sixth grade level in math and several learning disablities from previous schools. Rockwall worked

This school district takes great pride in the level of education provided to the students and constantly tries to help. This is a great school. My son is currently enrolled in kindergarten and I know he getting to best. Thank you to the staff and employees for their hard work. Read less

I think the school is very nice. The only thing that really bothers me is what you see when you walk around the school. The 'goths' are pretty disturbing and the fact that the students dress so poorly and don't seem to care about their appearance is pathetic. I would have thought that such a wealthy
