Rosshall Academy is a secondary school in the Crookston area of Glasgow. The school was completed and opened in 2002 to merge together Penilee Secondary School and Crookston Castle Secondary School. It currently holds over 1100 pupils; due to this, many complaints have been made as regards the space the school affords these pupils, the quality of the water supply and the heat of the building at summer times.

The school is headed by Ian Montague (Learning community head is H R Rae Renwick)
