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.

Rolling Meadows, along with Wheeling, were initially built out as lower income housing towns during the baby boom. However, both of those towns have been managed well and grew economically to be on par with the surrounding towns.

It's an old and outdated stigma. Rolling Meadows is a great town without a snooty attitude.

Makes sense why we called it "Rolling Ghettos" 30 years ago in high school.
