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.

Royal High School provided me with the essentials for my college education. While some teachers were difficult, they showed deep care and fostered a connection with the students. They provided many opportunities to get ahead which allowed me to transfer credits going into my freshman year of college.

Senior year is going well for me, I am more focus on my grades and finishing my credits to graduate high school. This year has been well. I am proud of my efforts and improvements. I never experience anything bad about the school, it's a safe and calm environment. The school is perfect, and no changes need to be required.

I love the teachers and how interactive the whole campus is. Everyone around the campus is very friendly and I also love how the principal is always out getting to know his students. The location is also amazing how it gives off the small town vibes surrounded by neighborhoods.

A lot of the teachers I had we not decent and their P.E. class made me feel like I was in boot camp. This is such a competitive school and expects a lot of people to be into...
