It's a little bit to strict with the tardiness giving you a suspension for just 1 and instant consent to search if you are but other then that I guess its pretty cool some of the teachers have nasty attitudes but other are really nice and you can tell the students enjoy being in there class compared to some

I have been so impressed with the PTECH staff here at Rowlett High!! From the teachers all the way up to the coordinator and counselors, they are all over achievers, love their students and are so supportive!

The teachers communication level is a 9. When I email them, they respond within 1 to 2 days, including evening and weekends.

Rowlett High School is a big disappointment. My daughter is an outstanding student but is not able to get the classes she wants, the lunch food is horrible, and the administrators only care about the numbers. The counselors are no help with anything. If she wasn't a senior I would pull her out and let her test scores help a more worthy school.

This school is great! I love coming to school 99.9 % of the teachers and staff are amazing,and there ams many friendly students. On a rating from 1-10 the school its self would be a 7. The way this school could have a better ratting is if the bathrooms were better matemanceed, I walked in to two bathrooms where there was no toliet paper and there was trash on the floor. A way the school can get more attention is give the school a paint god and make it stick out as of right now the school looks really boring. An other way is to get teachers in the hall way to tell kids to get to class during passing periods OMG how I hate trying to get to class with the hallways so crowded that nobody can get threw

A great group of teachers and administrators run this school. The teachers communicate well with the parents and keep them informed about their student's conduct and grades. Some teachers even call just to say, 'Hey your kid is doing great, and keep it up.' They work with the student on any subject that they need with free after school tutoring and some classes even have online tutoring. School is dismissed at 2:30pm which is great for students with after school activities. The kids get done with their after school activities early enough, that they have time to complete their homework at a decent hour and spend time with their families. Before my son attended RHS, he wasn't able to get home on school nights, until after it was dark. At times he didn't get all his homework done until after 10pm. The district really thought about these kids when they set-up the schools' schedules. This school has the student's best interests in mind and they truly care about the kids and want them to succeed.

Rowlett High School. This school has no business being called a great school...a great prison maybe. The Rowlett police department runs this place and students are too often treated as inmates who have no rights. I wish I had known what bullies RUN this place.
