I am a graduate at this school. Don't get me wrong I had some fun times and some good teachers. Most of the teachers had favorites. They care more about football than academics seems like. The school needs a remodel. I remember buckets being placed where the ceiling was leaking. They don't take bullying seriously. I was bullied in middle school by a popular girl I went to the counselor and nothing was done. I had to stand up to her myself. The counselor looked at me like , "are you sure it was her" The best part of this school was seeing my friends and few nice teachers they had. I probably wouldn't recommend going here.

My oldest son transferred to Rogers in the 8th grade and graduated from there in 2018. We never experienced any outsider feelings. He came in and was immediately accepted. He had and still has a larger group of friends than he had in all of K-8 at the other school he went to. The teachers were great, even volunteering their prep time to help when needed. He wishes he would have gone to Rogers from the beginning. Now, I have a 2nd grader at Rogers, and I am happy with all of his teachers this far and how much he has learned.

Great experience here at Rogers the principal and staff are really great. The bus drivers at Rogers are the safest and caring drivers I have ever seen they go way beyond what is expected of them. Keep up the good work!!!!!

I am currently a senior at Rogers and I can't wait to get out of there. Everything revolves around the athletic program. Two years ago, they decided to remodel the field house for the worst football team in the state. This year they completely remodeled the gym for the basketball and volleyball teams. During school hours, the athletes are given special treatment and a blind eye is turned to everybody else. The ONLY thing that I look forward to in the morning is going to trade school at Allen Thornton Career Technical Center. It is there that I'm appreciated for being me. I take Automotive Collision Repair and in Skills USA as the morning reporter and competetor in the district competition this year. Whoever thinks that Rogers is a good place should get lost. I absolutely do NOT recomend Rogers High School for ANY new comers.

I am a graduate of this school. The majority of the teachers are former graduates and can't seem to move past their high school "glory days". The teachers were rude and not interested in helping anyone but the top students. I remember several incidences where teachers were insensitive to students going through difficult situations. I also remember an occasion where one student was being blatantly bullied by a group of girls. Nothing was done to remedy the situation because the girls were cheerleaders. Also, there were at least two incidents of inappropriate relationships between a teacher and student that were swept under the rug. The academics were pitiable and did not properly prepare students for higher education. There is no diversity and anyone who is different is bullied mercilessly with no intervention from the faculty. I would never consider this school for my own children.

Anyone who gives this school over a 3 is lying to you. Athletics are much more important than academics, they still have books from the early 2000's, and are torn up, the computer labs arent up to date, etc. Yet new weight equipment, gym floors, etc. are able to be upgraded without a thought. Half of the teachers SHOULD NOT be teachers, they complain like no other about students, there bosses, except for when a "higher up" is present. There are a handful who should definitely not be there, as they are hateful to people. Helps if you're one of the "good ol boys" also, as they get special treatment. A 4/5 or 5/5 stars? please.

I am a current student at Rogers High School. This school places too much emphasis on athletics rather than academics. Athletics are certainly important, but academics should be a school's number one priority. No advanced placement classes are offered at this school, with the exception of advanced English (which is still not an AP certified class). The school's reasoning is that they do not have enough funds to allocate the purchase of textbooks (a simple solution to this issue could be having students purchase their own books for $45 or simply taking $1,000 out of the overflowing athletic fund). I often feel that I have missed out on many academic opportunities by attending this school. Most of the teachers worry about themselves and not the students. Many miss teaching at least half the class period to finish gossiping about students with the other teachers in the hallway. Many also give their children (and their colleagues' children) special treatment. If you are not from the area, I certainly do not recommend sending your child to RHS; they will get lost in the shuffle.

The school is very good if you are from the area... IF you are an outsider forget it. Bullying seems to be allowed as long as it is directed to an outsider. If confronted it is said, "Aw shucks, boys will be boys" Every level of adminstration looks the other way if the bullying is toward an outsider.
