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.

I love the way East Rockingham High School includes everyone. It can be hard to be yourself, but East Rock makes it a little easier. I would like to see some of the more recent activities that have been happening in the school change.

I love my school. The community of a small town school like mine is like no other. We're just one big family. I think my biggest issue with it is we don't have a ton of higher level STEM classes offered, but that is just due to the fact that it is a small school. There are only so many things you can offer with such a small group of students to take the class, but the great teachers willing to go the extra mile to help challenge me make up for that.

This school academically challenges the students. As a student that attends this school I greatly appreciate all of the extra-curricular activities offered. Many of the teachers are very relaxed and laid-back, which makes it easier for the students to learn and focus.

When this school opened last year, my daughter was very nervous. After about a week, she realized that nothing had changed, except for the fact that everything was brand new. This school and staff are superb, I love them and so does she!

I was a freshman at East Rock, and everyone said that it would be hard to be a freshman, but it was very easy. The teacher's were good, and easy to get along with. Principals and students handled violence and various issues well. I loved it at East Rockingham High School. (:
