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.

Rocky RIver High School is a good School when it comes to being able to find Extra curricular clubs to participate in. They have a host of diffrent clubs and organizations to choose from. When it comes to Academics they have had a history of being below average but they are making significant changes and different preperations to help better test scores. I belive those improvement's will help the academics a lot.

My personal experience at Rocky River High School was good. I would like to see the spirit of the school change. Students don't want to engage and bring school spirit understandably. I think they can improve on parent involvement, better courses, more school spirit, more opportunities for students, counselors, etc.

The staff doesn't care about its students and is entirely unreliable and unprepared don't care if they mess up the student's schedules. The school's administration is never prepared.
