“Rowland High Schools is one of the best and most most caring schools around the area! The campus is clean, most of the teachers are great, and there are a variety of sports and clubs that you can join on campus. Not to mention that you can even create your own club. The school is very diverse, with a large majority of Asians and Hispanics but also others too! The sports here are great and they just created a new track and football field recently. Lockers here are nice, though some are in need of repainting and new doors, but they will keep your things safe and are of adequate size. The students around campus are actually pretty nice. Granted, there are the occasional mean people, but the majority is rather nice and considerate. If you are considering enrollment in this school, I as a student would highly recommend it.”

“As a student, I would say that this is a great school. Reading the comments before me, I noticed that nobody said the negative aspects. That is why I want to point out some irritating points. #1 There is too much emphasis on thinking maps - especially in the IB program. #2 The lack of funding makes the school look inferiro to other schools (outwardly). #3 There is not enough AP classes. #4 There are too many students per class.”

“John A. Rowland High School is an excellent school. I am a student there now and I believe that a better high school could not be found any where else in America. Although the school lacks funding and is not the richest school around, it makes up for it with wonderful teachers and dedicated staffulty. Rowland High School is also really diverse with many different ethnicities and offers many, many extra-curricular activities to choose from.”

“I am a 2001 graduate from this school. In my honest opinion I believe that this is a really good school. Quality of Academic Programs: There are some really good programs such as Business programs where I know lots of friends who attended and continued into Business degrees. Extracurricular Activities: Sports was a great experience for me. I joined football for frosh and JV, and gained lots of knowledge of the game, teammwork, and confidence. All in all, I do highly recommend this school. There are a lot of times where I can reflect back to my high school days and use the knowledge gained in my current”

“My daughter,Ana Kristine graduated last 2002. This June, she will graduate at UC-Irvine with the degree of Bachelor of Art major in Philosophy, Cum Laude. My husband and I would like to thank the staff, the counselor, the faculty members and all those who inspired my daughter to aim high and set high goals in her studies/life. According to her, Rowland High did give her the training needed to perform better in college. Special thanks to all her teachers among others, Mr. Gasca, Mr. Gardner, Ms. Valera, her P.E, science teachers, year book adviser and all others whom we cannot remember the names yet as deserving. We are beyond words, we cannot thank you enough. The least we can do is to let others know how good all of you are. Again, thank you.”

“My oldest son graduated with honors form John A. Rowland High School and was accepted to various major universities when he applied during his senior year. He is getting ready to graduate from UCLA with a Psychology Major and plans to continue with Pre-Med at the same school for a later M.D. and specialty in Psychiatry. My second son graduated with honors, International Bachelorean classes in 2003 and was accepted at various Major Universities as well. He is currently a Private Cadet at United States Military Academy West Point, New York where he is enjoying the products of higher education thanks to John A. Rowland High School My daughter is currently a Junior at John A. Rowland High School and plans to graduate in 2005 and later go to a four year University where I am pretty sure she'll be prepared as well as my sons were. Overall, Rowland High School is a great school and I am very proud of all achievements and memories that we share as a community and as a family: cross country, track and field, pageantry, swimming, water polo, model United Nations, marching band, orchestra are only a few of the extra-curriculum activities that my children participated during their high school years.”

“We are new to this school, with a freshman just beginning this year. I am very impressed so far with accessibility of teachers and staff not only through email but in person. This year is the first back to school night with much effort on the school's part to make communication important, something missing from our Jr. High school. So far we love Rowland!”
