One of the worst school experiences Ive seen in this district. There is a reason other schools do not speak highly of this program. The athletic department in particular is poorly managed, with ongoing concerns about fairness, funding priorities, and leadership.
Large amounts of money are spent on flashy upgrades while basic needssuch as safe, updated athletic facilitiesare ignored. The football turf, for example, is extremely outdated and poses a real safety concern for student athletes.
Funding priorities also appear unbalanced, with certain programs receiving disproportionate support while others struggle. This creates unnecessary tension between students and activities and reflects poorly on administration.
Overall, the lack of accountability, poor leadership decisions, and misplaced priorities make this school difficult to recommend. Significant administrative and cultural changes are needed.

Rolla High School has well educated teachers and spends time with the students. High School is tough no matter where you go, it all depends on the quality of teachers teaching the students.

The school district has a long tradition of paying a lot more attention to the ""smart" kids, leaving the dumb kids to fend for themselves. This is mainly tthe result of Rolla being home to the Missouri University of Science & Technology, a world class engineering and hard sciences colleges. The professors have a strong influence on how their kids are educated, which is great. But the kids whose parents are not so academic, must work at getting the attention they need.
