Rocky Mountain High School

I am a Junior at RMHS, my freshman year, I was clinically depressed and ended my first semester with a 1.9 GPA. I am appalled upon finding this site that negative reviews have been given to Rocky. Many of my teachers, and even random students went well out their way to show love and to show support for me. While yes, there are many opportunities for AP classes and the school is geared towards school spirit. Who isn't? It's not to say the school "Higher Authority" ONLY cares about them, if you fall behind you are not indefinitely "screwed". Since my freshman year I have been an All-A Student. I love being able to show off my 3.75+ GPA. I could not have been able to make the recovery from being a bad student if it were not for the love and care that the staff, the students, and the community gave me. Then again, you can never really base your opinions off of one review. Guess you'll have to just come see for yourself. Rocky is one place I will never regret experiencing.

Not really the best school in the world, teachers aren't very helpful and if you fall behind you are pretty much screwed.

I went to Rocky and couldn't have asked for a better experience. There were some bad seeds who tried to start fights and stuff, but fortunately, they usually got shipped out pretty quickly. The quality of education I received at Rocky is second to very few.

i went to rocky for the first semster of my freshman year and hated it. the teachers arent very helpful. the higher authority staff cares only of the students who devote their life to representing rocky. Jocks, cheerleaders, school spirit kind of people. they kicked me out a week before the first semester was over. their explanation was at first grades. then attendance. theyneglected to tell me of my transfering to PTC. i learned of the transfer from my father who says they e-mailed him and called him. again they didnt tell me anything about it.

I am the parent of a student that went to Rocky in 2009. The school seemed good for kids who fit the mold, lots of AP and other opportunities. However, my daughter had some behavioral issues. There was little to no help for us, and instead of working with us on possibly getting her an IEP, they pushed her off to PTC. We are now at Centennial and love it.

I currently atten Rocky Mountain High School and i hate it. I think there are better schools. You need to be in an almost perfect emotional state in order to attend this school, because they don't care about your problems. If I knew what my first year at Rocky would be like, I never would have chosen this school.

I am a former student of Rocky Mountain High, and currently attend a state university. After speaking with other people my age about high school, I realized that I was extremely lucky to attend such a great school. During my time there, we had an open and welcoming community, very few cliques, little to no gang activity, and were rated top in the state in areas of music, athletics, art, forensics, and academics. I strongly feel that Rocky is the best high school around.

I go to Rocky Mountain High, I'm currently a Junior there, and I have always been happy with this school, no matter what. I love it! And Mr. Lopez is the best.

I think Rocky Mountain is the most well rounded school in the city. There is something for everyone who wants to be involved whether it be sports, music, art, business, forensics or any of the many clubs available. While it is not a IB school there are plenty of AP classes for those that want to be challenged. The block system is great for student learning and gets the kids ready for college schedules. The teachers are easy to reach and most are more than willing to help a student that wants to be helped. I would not think twice about having my child attend Rocky.
