Rising Sun High School Reviews
Rating 3.39 out of 5 160 reviews
I would like to see the air conditioner working and the temperature of the school more regulated. Rising Sun High School has given me a good high school experience. Though some of the students can be frustrating, I wouldn’t want to go to any other school in Cecil County. I am thankful that I have been given the opportunity to go to Rising Sun High School.
What I love about Rising Sun High School is the teachers. I’ve made so many good connections and learned so many things just because of the amazing teachers they have at Rising Sun High, I know sometimes it can be hard moving to a new place or even going into high school but Rising Sun is a very comforting small town. Lots of me and other students grew up together and now we’re graduating together! Crazy how time flies! But I’ve had so many experiences with Rising Sun and so many great opportunities to help my community, and helped myself grow in more ways than one! :)
I have enjoyed my time at Rising Sun High School. As long as you show some focus into your schoolwork, the teachers want you to succeed. The only true negative about Rising Sun High School is the lack of diversity. This leads to acts of racism that don't occur at the other schools in the county.
