Academics

[edit]

First opened in the Fall of 1958, David Glasgow Farragut School at Rota Naval Station, Spain, consisted of Kindergarten through grade 12. Since 1975, Rota High School (also known as, David Glasgow Farragut Middle/High School) has been an accredited member of AdvancED (formerly North Central Association). Students complete a minimum of 26 courses and exams in regular and Advanced Placement (AP) classes with an opportunity to obtain college credit. Due to the small size of the school there are many classes which are not offered at the school, to make up for this the school offers virtual classes through what they call DoDEA Virtual School. The virtual classes are mostly run through the website Edgenuity and Schoology.
