Rocklin High School

The students here are focused and engaged during classes. Teachers are well prepared and responsive to student needs and provide extra tutoring, including at lunch. The staff is friendly and welcoming. What a great place where students are thriving!

We are sick to learn yet another student had a gun on campus today.Last month a student had a gun on Campus at Whitney High School.The violence and drugs at these two High Schools seems to call into question what is being done to unite students,diminish bullying,elevate self esteem,increase compassion...Navigating through Rocklin Unified has presented one issue after the other for us.After today's incident we are done.Our home goes up for sale Monday.We can't get our kids out of this school district fast enough.We hope and pray the district discovers better ways to meet the needs of students and use resources to create a more caring environment at these schools.So far from what we can tell the district is more interested in purchasing costly marketing videos to improve their image.If they paid even close to what we are told for the last few,they could have hosted a huge Caring For One another Challenge with incentives for all district wide,and or funded many more scholarships for lower income youth to play sports or participate in clubs within the district (most are cost prohibitive for many).If you are considering placing a student here,you might want to speak with area families first.

We have had a rough ride with this school district and unfortunately our experience here at Rocklin High School is no better.If this school district placed half the energy into improving when issues are brought to their attention,that they put into covering up, and manipulating law enforcement as well as school board members into buying into corrupt tales that have nothing to do with truth,they would be top notch!Single and low income parents are shunned,only the wealthy can possibly afford to have their students in sports or cheer here.Students with hidden disabilities are bullied and left to fend for themselves.On the positive side there seems to be a bit of effort in counseling to address some of these issues.It would be nice for concerns to be addressed, rather than simply serve as the catalyst for retaliatory attacks.

Overall my son has had no issues with other students or staff. There is definite gap between wealthy and not and is pretty obvious. It seems like Rocklin High is a dumping ground for bad students from other schools. I feel the counselors could communicate with parents better and feel the school needs to address the drug use at the school better
