This school doesnt protect victims as long as the perpetrator is good at a sport. The coaches let victims be socially bullied, the Principal gaslights you, the athletic director doesnt care because they just want that section banner. I highly recommend not talking on the phone with any school personnel and get EVERYTHING in writing. Document dates, times, promises that are made, promises that arent kept.

We came to Roseville High School from private school. While many of our peers chose many of the top local schools, we chose Roseville because of the impression we got after their high school on the hill event, reviewing their student news on their website, watching the principles recaps and reading bulletins on the website. We liked the energy and thought the administration was great.
After a year and a half we have noticed that our student has been able to maintain a very strong, academic life, and quite an enriching experience in Rosevilles band program-The band program is incredible.
We are very happy with our choice. Of course, with any school you get out of it what you put into it. There is always going to be an air of typical high school life. However Roseville definitely has plenty of opportunity ready for the taking with committed staff members, many that go above and beyond. While we have not experienced all of the classes, in particular we have been very impressed with computer science, Spanish, all band related activities, and the pre-AP/ AP course subjects.

This review is mainly about the school board. The current school board (some are same since 2020) is majority evangelical christians. They support and push Project 2025. Their campaigns are funded by churches. With the majority being pro Project 2025, there is little hope for common sense and inclusivity to be encouraged or supported at RJUHSD. The admins at the district office are also members of evangelical churches and quietly supports what the school board does. It would be wonderful if there were more of a separation of church and state here. It would be amazing if Destiny Church and Bayside church are stripped of their non profit status. They politicize from the pulpit, spread dangerous misinformation to their people, they are funding political campaigns, and they are recruiting members to run for local school boards. Christians they are not. Often times they are the mouth pieces of pastors from local evangelical churches.
The school board is out of touch with the majority of the front line staff (teachers, office staff, aides, etc). When staff or parents speak to the board they are often ignored. The teachers' knowledge is unimportant in their eyes. What saves the school are the teachers RJUHSD will be lucky to retain the teachers they have in this current climate of exclusivity and misinformation.

My chronically ill child has not been receiving the help they need at this school. They continue to fail my child and put them on student conduct but refuse to step in and actually help them. My child was also viciously attacked and is now suffering more from the injuries, school did nothing to support my child. The attacker is still at the school, this causes my child emotional distress daily.

We moved from Arizona and thought the schools in California would be more inclusive. I have to say that every staff member we met was welcoming, cared about my teen's success as a student and bent over backwards to help with accomodations. We were introduced to the nurse, the school counselor and even the wellness center staff who had a partnership with a local LGBTQ+ group to give teens a safe space to meet and talk. Sadly my child was bullied the first few days of school and the staff was powerless to do anything and my teenager didn't feel safe at Roseville. The students are not accepting the the school board is run by parents who don't want to promote inclusivity or kindness towards kids who are different. My teenager said the only person who was nice to them in class was a kid who had tourettes. The school board is now trying to ban LGBTQ+ clubs which is the only safe space for many teens in high school. It is heartbreaking that this is happening in Roseville.

Coming from the Bay Area where my kids attended a 9/10 school, the rating for RHS should be higher. The school has been amazing in all ways.

Girl bullying at this school is severe. The girls that go to this school are mean, hateful, brutal and vicious. If I knew how bad this was at this school I wouldve never moved to Roseville. Sending my daughter to this school has been one of the biggest mistakes that I have ever made. She comes home crying everyday. Its awful!!!!!

I feel that Roseville High is a mediocre school at best. We need funding desperately and without it we will never improve.

Too reliant on computers. There needs to be more physical handouts

My son has been a student at Roseville for two years. The teachers are very communicative with the parents as well as the students. They encourage students to be involved and are available for additional assistance any time. The upper faculty is great at letting the parents know about meetings and after school events via voice mail, email and/or text messages. Although the school itself is old, the renovations have been great and the character of the school is one of a kind! I believe the diversity of the students is fantastic as well! My son is involved in after school sports and the athletic department has been great to be a part of. I would most definitely recommend Roseville High!!

ROSEVILLE high school is just simply am amazing school. I am a senior and I will be able to graduate on time with my class. The counselor was able to reduce my graduation required credits due to my academics. The school does need a coat of paint but that doesn't really matter, being surrounded by amazing and supportive teachers aand students is what makes rhs great school to attend.

I am currently a Sophmore at RHS and my experience there has been good but not great. I take band and it's never appreciated at all. Student government doesn't care for it at all and doesn't even support colorguard/winterguard as well when there both representing RHS as school spirit. We don't get enough help with recruiting either. We are dwindling here on people and we can't recruit when people don't know about colorguard, or when we don't get enough support from the school. Other than that my time here has been nice. The teachers are great, the football games are exciting and the school is definitely not ghetto.

Hi, Our school is very old and we need to win this money to have more pride in our school. WE want to have it painted and cleaned. My sister and I are twins and we are incoming Freshmen. We walked the halls to see where our classes are and couldn't believe how much the school needs cleaning and painting. It looks like the lockers, ceilings, doors, and a lot of the exteriors of the older classrooms need paint. They probably have not been painted in 50 years. There is rust and bad words and filth all over them. Dripped food, old smashed stuff, back gum spots everywhere, it is really bad! The school has not even swept the sidewalks or washed any tables or trashcans. They are filthy! The drinking fountains have disgusting stuff in them too. Spider webs and bugs on the lights and walls and tables. We even saw a dead rat in one of the hallways. Dead leaves and twigs from the trees are not picked up and the sidewalks need cement repair because the trees roots have made them uneven and dangerous, anyone could trip on them. We have pictures to back up what we are telling you. Please help! Thank you!

Roseville High School has an excellent staff and strong leadership focused on preparing every student for post-secondary education. Their API has jumped from the mid-600's to over 800 over the last five years. In addition, the UC/CSU A-G College-Readiness rate for graduating seniors has increased from 35% to 71% over the last five years. This is similar to the A-G rate at schools like Granite Bay and Rocklin High School. The AP program is also growing. RHS now offers 18 AP classes and the number of students enrolled in AP classes and taking the AP exams has doubled. RHS is a National Demonstration Site for AVID, which targets under represented students and prepares them for college. RHS has a strong co-curricular program, including well known VAPA, FACS, and CTE programs. This includes a state of the art culinary program with an industrial kitchen and an outstanding Geometry in Construction (GIC) program. In GIC, the students built a 700 square foot house while learning Geometry. This year RHS is celebrating it's Centennial Anniversary...The RHS community is full of tradition and Tiger Pride! And, RHS does all of this with the most diverse student body in the district!

Roseville high school is a great school, don't get me wrong. People think that because the school is 100 years old that it is ghetto, when it is not. Most of the buildings have been completely renovated and it has a good football field. The school has been subject to vandalism on certain occasion, but a lot of schools get vandalized. It is not only subject to RHS. Academics are good and the teachers are good as well, there is a wide mix of student groups. The school has a peer helping program that helps kids accept others and themselves and it's great. The band is hardly appreciated at all. The counselors will try to sway you to take AVID or underwater basketweaving instead of band. Which is wrong, and speaking of counselors, if you need to speak with them...Forget about it. You need to make an appointment and it's a total bureaucracy. Half of the time they are out at lunch and never even see you. Same with the principle. It's a good thing they removed the PAWS program as well. It wasn't working and only put more stress on staff and students. I would recommend attending this school, it really isn't bad. It has little issues that can be easily ignored.
