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.

My time at RLHS has been really enjoyable. The students and staff are very kind and welcoming, especially in the fine arts department. Some teachers are better than others, but they're all reasonable and seem to care about our success. Despite what others may say, I've never felt unsafe at this school. You can tell security is a top priority for the admin.

Made it extraordinarily easy to graduate. Felt that it took away from the quality of the education. Average facilities, with a big recent investment in the stadium and the track and field.

I enjoyed the lessons I learned throughout my time as a student at Round Lake Senior High School both academical and life lessons. I also appreciate the experiences that I gained by being in such a diverse school.

This school has a Dean that likes to intimidate students, force them to admit to acts they have not done and they refuse to give a special needs student the help that he obviously needs. Probably because since they’re the homeschool they have to pay for any accommodations. They also do not keep pare...

The teacher is good and treats all students with respect but on the other hand security and the new dean are all on a power trip and believe everyone is a liar. I've had two instances in which the new lady dean has falsely accused me of acts which I have not done. After the bad security guard harass...
