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 would like they to look at the lunch options they offer us. Some teachers wander around and not available to students. The lay out is spread out but we do have great security.

One of my favorite things about this school is how united the community/ students can come together in a time of need. If its for cheering one another at a game or supporting each other after losing someone the student body always stands as one. I also really enjoy the Arts department. We are a unique bunch with overflowing talent. If i could change one thing about my school it would be that the Art departments don't get as much support financial and emotionally as the sports.

Rockland Senior High School has improved a bit in recent times, but there is a long ways to go before this can be considered even in the middle of pack among high schools in Massachusetts. MCAS scores are among the lowest in the state. The average SAT scores are also pretty woeful. The town has a re...

Since the over-ride was passed and the new middle school was built along with renovations to the high school, things have drastically improved. Seems to be an influx of new, young families moving to town and the atmosphere is refreshingly live in and around the schools. Jay Retchless and other schoo...
