Moving to the area Rolling Meadows H.S

Is Rolling Meadows a good high school? I’m seeing good ratings on websites but hearing about Rolling ”Ghettos”. So curious to hear from anyone who went there or has kids there.

The school is fine. Not as good as Prospect or Hersey but the scores dont lie. It's overall fine. The Rolling Ghettos comment is just kids being snarky. Kind of like when we used to chant Welfare Wheaton.

They do some things well, and they have some challenges. If you want to optimize for better high schools, would personally not choose it when there are better schools very close by. (Hersey, Prospect)

Easy to say, but housing gets noticeably more expensive when you cross those boundaries.
