Romeo High School

I first moved into the Romeo school district because they had great schools, but in the last few years I have become very disappointed, especially with their math program at the high school. Many of the kids need to take math help in the form of paid tutoring to learn their math that is taught by the RHS teachers. Why are we parents sending our kids to school if we need to pay for additional math assistance, or reteach what was learned in school because it was confusing for them to learn? The school is not as up-to-date on the information taught in the computer classes either. On a more positive note, the sports programs have been exceptional, and my kids have excelled in the sports programs.

It was a bad school for kids to attend. I transfers my kids to Almont. The teachers pretty much more about themselves then the students. They yell at the kids for no reason. The kids are mean and bad. All the threats that they have.

My child is a freshman this year and I have been extremely satisfied with the academics the school has offered. My child is not an AP or athletic student but does have a 3.8 GPA and is excelling. Unfortunately every school has a strong focus on sports because that is what brings students in to the district.

I attended Romeo High School and severly disliked my experience there. In fact, my senior year I transfered to Almont High School because I was so displeased. Romeo High School just doesn't feel like a frienly place, unless you play football or are a cheerleader. I feel that most of the emphasis at this school is based on athletics, but only the major ones. Football and Basketball are what it is all about. Also, there are quite a few teachers who don't really teach. Everyone knows that if you get this or that certain teacher, you won't learn diddly-squat. This annoyed me a lot as many of the classes I genually wanted to learn in. Also, being in the band, I felt like no one cared about us. There was very little funding, yet the football team seemed to get everything.

I am a graduate from Romeo High School and i cannot truthfully state that i enjoyed my time there. Most teachers couldn't give a damn if you passed, if you weren't an AP student (or an athlete) and you were struggling it was tough luck and better try next year. This was especially true to the math program. The best thing that ever happened to Romeo was the RETC center in which students who wanted to get away from the crowded halls of the high school were able to do so. Ive never felt so unprepared for placement tests in my life. Bottom line is that Romeo needs to stop Coaching and start teaching!

Lovely school. My family moved here from Fraser. The sports, & academics here are much better!!!!!

I thought education was about reading, writing, and math. I understand that in this modern society technology is also important. What I don't understand is the emphasis on sports. Yes, they are wonderful for the kids but being able to read and make change for a dollar is much more important. Teachers in Romeo need to concentrate on their jobs and not what they are doing on the football field as a coach. The math curriculum at Romeo is one of the worst I have seen and many children have to retake courses when they reach college. Get back to the basics. Do the jobs you were highered to do. Make the classes more enjoyable and not boring! Do what you are getting paid to do. Teach not coach!

There are several advanced academic programs for children pursuing a college prep course of study. The fine arts programs offered at the high school are phenomenal including art, theatre, drafting, etc. All varsity sports are offered as well as a multitude of extracurricular activities. Parents are very involved with their childrens' education and participate in several different ways including committees and special event planning.

I am a graduate of Romeo High School now attending the University of Michigan and couldn't be prouder of my education. I love U of M, but I would love to be back in those high school halls again. Romeo offers something for everyone, it's small enough so that everyone knows everyone, but large enough so when children are transplanted into larger settings, they're able to cope. On a lighter note, the athletics are amazing. Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Baseball, you name it and Romeo High is conference champions and headed to the state playoffs year after year. Not to mention that they have a state championship cheerleading program! I loved every minute of my k-12 education in the Romeo School System and will forever be a bulldog for life! Go dogs!
