Rolling Meadows High School Reviews
Rating 3.95 out of 5 487 reviews
Rolling Meadows High School might be the most underrated school in the state of Illinois. As a former student and now alum I cannot say enough good things about my time there. From growing up and all of the town going to watch the football games on friday nights it brought excitment for me as a young boy to one day be apart of that. And along with being so lucky to be apart of that experience in my athletics with great coaches at every level, I also was lucky enough to like every single teacher I had at the school which isnt easy to do. It just shows a testament to how serious Rolling Meadows High School takes being at the top. With pumping out great students year end and out to the state of the art facilities, it is safe to say rolling meadows is one of the best schools in the state of illinois along with being in one of the best districts in the state. But if I had to change anything it would had been the constant rotation of the coaches there along with updating uniforms.
High school, for me was a very transformative and crucial time in my life. It helped that I had some amazing teachers and friends to help me along the way. I met all of them through school and clubs that they offer. As soon as I stepped into Rolling Meadows, it was advocated that you should join activities and try to get more involved. In doing that, I discovered more about myself and some things I might be interested in for the future. I'm so glad that I did, or else I would have missed out on all these great experiences.
Overall Rolling Meadows High School is a great public high school. From a close knit community to a wide array of diversity, Rolling Meadows offers everything you would want in a public education. Great teachers, great post secondary resources, lively environment and school spirit, and access to higher level classes. The school has newly updated facilities and recently changed the logo giving it a more modern feel. If you’re looking for a school with diversity and opportunity, there is no better place. My experience there was definitely a 10/10 and those who have bad things to say are likely to have had a bad personal experience that does not relate to rolling meadows as a whole.
