Rock Canyon High School

The teacher to student ratio is not accurate. When there are 35 -40 students in many core subject classrooms, and only one teacher. It is more like 1 teacher to 35 students in a classroom.

Good school overall. I have a Sophomore and a Senior attending the school and have had alot of problems with the Math teachers. They have a new principal and athletic director, so we are waiting to see what impact the new administrative leadership will have on the school.

Rock Canyon was an amazing school. I was well-prepared for college. For the most part, the teachers were exceptional, providing constant encouragement, support, and superior education. You can't get a better public school education anywhere! One of the best things about RC is the emphasis on education. Sure, we have great sports teams, but academics are always #1, even to coaches and athletes. I'm so lucky I went to Rock Canyon. The opportunities there are endless!

RCHS is a top-quality school. Excellent administration, staff, and students. I currently have a freshman and a senior there, and have only had one complaint over the years -- one bad teacher. Even the principal stood by me when I refused to allow my freshman to have this teacher, going against school policy. Academics are the top priority, athletics and activities are abundant, and students perform community service as a grad requirement. RCHS students are excellent representatives of this community, and we're proud to send them so well-prepared into the world.

I love this school!!! This school is awesome and it is the top high school in the douglas county schools district. The teachers ROCK and our school has like sooo much school spirit here. I love all the events and clubs and activities at our school. With so much fun, it's hard to believe that our school's academics are the top in this whole state!!! I love being a Jaguar!!!

After coming from a nearby Douglas County High School and transferring into Rock Canyon I can definitely tell how exceptional this school is. It seems like everyone from the teachers to the students really care about education. Theres great school spirit and overall its just a great school, and in my opinion better than the other schools in Douglas County.

Rock Canyon is a great school that truly strives to give the students a positive high school experience and prepare them for college. My only criticism is that I don't think they do enough for students that struggle, but are not identified as special needs. They do, however, provide a terrific environment for motivated students.

The atmosphere is great. The people are fun and the teachers know their stuff. It shows! Being a Jaguar is something to be proud of!

Everything at Rock Canyon is mediocre, but the student newspaper, The Rock, which won 1st place Best of Show. Susie Typher, the Executive Editor, is beautiful, smart, and is brilliant with her diction!
