Rahway High School Reviews
Rating 3.61 out of 5 175 reviews
As a proud member of the Rahway High School Class of 2022, I am delighted to share my review of my alma mater. Rahway High School is an exceptional educational institution that goes above and beyond in preparing its students for a successful future. From the moment I walked through its doors as a freshman, to the day I proudly graduated, RHS nurtured my growth, and provided a supportive environment, equipping me with the skills needed to thrive in the real world. One of the standout features of Rahway High School is its dedicated and passionate faculty. The teachers are knowledgeable in their respective subjects and genuinely care about their students' well-being and academic success. They are approachable, always willing to help and go the extra mile to ensure every student grasps the concepts being taught. The personalized attention and guidance from my teachers allowed me to develop a deep understanding of various subjects and excel in areas I was passionate about.
My experience at Rahway High school has been a swell one. There are so many activities and clubs within the school, allowing so much inclusivity to take place. There's also never a dull moment, with there being events or fundraising ideas taking place. I also enjoy how much they're actually putting towards taking care of students' mental and physical health.
However, our school isn't perfect, and that's okay! If I can change a few things I would first change the three minutes in between class periods, because students don't even have time to go to our lockers in between classes. Also, I would like for our arts department to get better funding.
