Honestly worst school ever I'm never going to send my child here! I'm a senior that won't be graduating because they like to pick favorites and like to suspend kids for stuff they didn't do, today a kid was on his watch on class and was told to send it up to the office and when he went up there they wanted his phone saying he was on his phone during this time I had his phone so I went to the office to give him it and they suspended me for having his phone and suspended him for it too

I'm not sure how these reviews work - seeing one here with a one star but literally no comments to justify the review. Rochester is a good area with good schools

There are some teachers who don't really follow on the "great 5 star scale", but most of them do. I am currently a Freshman, and I have already gotten so much help from all the teachers, my counselor, AND the principle. As of right now, I have a 4.0 GPA, and I am on the top 10 GPA's of the freshman class. In Middle School, I struggled to get a 3.5. The teachers do understand sometimes you need some rest, but it's really when you respect them. SO you get respect back. The majority of the curriculum is good. AP classes are great too, the teachers have a lot more depth into the certain subject. Communication is a good way to befriend the teachers for both of your guys' advantage. Both of my older siblings went to Rochester High School (and Middle School), even though it was hard for them (like the dated reviews on this school) it has definitely made a 180 turn. I have excelled in school all thanks to the people who work there.
