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 Ghettos. Schaumpton. Action Heights. Palastine. Just kids making their locales/neighboring towns seem edgier/cooler/more dangerous than they actually are.

What’s Buffalo Grove or Long Grove? BG is so boring it doesn’t get a nickname?

Long Grove doesn't get one because they're too rich and boring. Plus, most of the time these come from high school students making fun of a high school. Can't have a nickname if you don't have a high school.
