Roblox High School Classes & Minigames Guide
How every period works, what letter grades pay, and how principals change your day.
School is still the heartbeat of Roblox High School 2. Each in-game day schedules multiple periods drawn from a pool of seven class minigames: Art, P.E., Math, Science & Engineering, Cooking, Dance, and Performance Arts. Five classes typically appear unless a Principal rewrites the board. Finish strong and you earn Credits, Experience, and progress toward the daily ranking bonuses that fund houses, cars, and the graduation grind.
This page explains every minigame, how difficulty scales, what letter grades mean, how detention interrupts your day, and how to practice without burning out in a finished game that no longer ships weekly balance patches.
How a school day is structured
Periods last on the order of 50 in-game minutes. A difficulty multiplier (often shown near 1.0–5.0+) rises when the server posts high grades and can be nudged with in-game tools. Higher difficulty means tougher puzzles—and better XP. At the end of each period you receive a letter grade from A+/A/A- down through B, C, D, to F, plus period ranking credit (top finishers can earn up to about 50 Credits for first in that class).
After the final bell, the daily top five students earn bonus Credits (commonly cited around 100 / 75 / 50 / 30 / 30 for ranks 1–5). Fire drills and principal-hosted after-school events add smaller flat payouts when you participate. None of this replaces after-school jobs, but skipping class is the slowest way to Level 100.
Art
Art drops you in front of a color grid. Recreate the reference painting by selecting colors and filling tiles before the timer ends. Score scales with how many complete images you finish. Difficulty changes grid size and color count—low difficulties may use a compact 4×4 board, while high difficulties stretch toward 6×6 with five colors. Tip: lock the palette order in your head before you paint; misclicks cost entire canvases at high difficulty.
P.E.
Physical Education splits the gym into Red and Blue for dodgeball. Eliminate the other team while dodging incoming throws. Lives and round rules tighten as difficulty climbs; later rounds may emphasize score rushes with respawns. Stay mobile along the sidelines, bait throws, and coordinate with classmates if voice or chat calls are available. P.E. is one of the most social periods—great for clubs, chaotic for AFK farmers.
Math
Math presents a sequence of arithmetic problems (often seven). Speed matters: earlier correct answers score more. Problems range from simple addition to multi-step expressions with multiplication and division. Ironically, some higher difficulties give slightly more thinking time per question while raising number size—read the prompt instead of mashing. Mental-math comfort translates directly into A-range finishes and ranking Credits.
Science & Engineering
Teams (Red vs Blue) scour the school for components or minerals. Grey ores and other part types award different point values; the higher team score wins, and personal contribution still feeds your grade. Learn popular spawn wings of the building so you are not jogging empty halls. Mobility gear between periods helps, but during the minigame focus on contested clusters rather than scenic routes.
Cooking
Cooking is cooperative: small teams pull the three highlighted ingredients from the display and drop them into the pot before time expires. At lower difficulties some ingredients (like grapes or eggs in older notes) may not appear, which changes the scramble pattern. Call your targets, avoid stealing the same item twice, and keep the pot cycle moving. Random teammates make this either your best or worst period—party up when possible.
Dance
Dance is a rhythm lane game: hit notes on four scrolling rows, build streak multipliers (up to high multipliers such as 4×), and avoid mispresses that reset the combo. Song choice scales with difficulty—community notes reference licensed electronic tracks that get denser above difficulty 3.0 and especially past 5.0. Headphones help. If you struggle, practice on lower-difficulty servers before chasing daily rank.
Performance Arts
Held in the auditorium, Performance Arts mixes memory challenges: Simon-style dance button sequences, matching hat-card pairs, ordering number cards, and deeper rounds that expand the card count. Accuracy bonuses shrink when you miss. Treat early rounds as free points and slow down on the expanded matching boards. Players who enjoy puzzle memory often A-rank here even if Dance wrecks them.
Grades, XP, and when to raise difficulty
Chase A-range finishes whenever the board is readable. Raising difficulty for raw XP is correct during a graduation push, but only if you still clear A/B instead of collapsing to D/F. Principals with schedule powers can force favorite periods—ask nicely if your club needs Dance practice or wants to avoid a weak minigame during a credit boost window.
Credits from classes buy early housing upgrades and basement keys for secrets. XP feeds the same bar as jobs and roleplay. Superstar pass owners see class credit bonuses stacked on top, which makes perfect attendance even more valuable.
Detention and principal powers
Players who own Enforcer’s Powers can act as Principal: announcements, schedule edits, special events, and detention. Landing in detention pulls you out of normal hallway freedom and can make you miss productive period time—bad news during a level sprint. Roleplay bullies love the bit; efficiency players should stay off the radar, avoid restricted rooms like the teachers’ lounge when staff are hunting, and leave detention drama for dedicated story sessions.
If you are Principal, use detention sparingly in public servers. Overusing it empties classrooms, tanks server grades, and lowers the fun that keeps Starcadia Bay populated after the 2024 update slowdown. Host fire drills or after-school events when you want engagement without soft-locking students.
Practice plan for beginners vs grinders
Beginners: Play every period for muscle memory. Ignore perfection for a week. Buy cheap mobility so Science scavenger hunts hurt less. Read Getting Started for HUD and daily login context.
Grinders aiming at Level 100+: Prioritize servers where you can finish A-ranks, stack job shifts afterward, and use Replay Tickets on peak days. Track which two minigames you fail most—usually Dance or high-diff Art—and drill only those. Cross-train with friends in private roleplay before ranked public days.
Collectors / roleplayers: Treat classes as social set pieces. Wear club fits, film auditorium performances, then spend earnings on Academic furniture from graduation boxes or Lost Wares cosmetics.

Classes will not receive new minigames in the sunset era, but mastery still separates casual visitors from players who actually graduate on purpose. Show up, learn the seven patterns, and let letter grades bankroll the rest of Starcadia Bay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for Roblox High School players.
How many classes are in Roblox High School 2?
Seven minigames exist: Art, P.E., Math, Science & Engineering, Cooking, Dance, and Performance Arts. A typical day schedules five unless a Principal changes the board.
Do better grades give more rewards?
Yes. Higher letter grades improve Credits and XP for that period. Placing high on the period board and in the daily top five adds extra Credit payouts.
What does class difficulty mean?
A rising multiplier makes puzzles harder but increases Experience. It trends up when the server performs well and can be adjusted with in-game difficulty controls.
How does detention work?
Principals using Enforcer’s Powers can send players to detention, interrupting normal school flow and potentially causing missed class value. Avoid it during serious XP sessions.
Which class is best for beginners?
Math and Cooking are usually the easiest to understand quickly. Dance and high-difficulty Art punish raw mechanics more, so practice those before you chase daily ranks.
Are classes required to graduate?
Graduation is level-based, and classes are one of the best XP sources. You can lean on jobs, but skipping school makes the Level 100 climb much slower.
