Enrollment figures of recent years

According to official figures, Gymnasium Rotherbaum was not oversubscribed in 2026/27, though it had been in 2024/25. Across the recorded school years, first choices fell from 109 to 68. Most recently, 2026/27 saw 68 first choices for 84 places, a demand ratio of 81 per cent.

First choices are the applications naming this school first. Places are the actual admissions into Klasse 5, which include children admitted on their second or third choice. A red column means more first choices than places. Where the school authority has published no admission figures for a school year, the column is hatched and the ratio reads “no figure”.

Abitur Results

No Abitur average has been published for Gymnasium Rotherbaum so far. Each year the Behörde lists only the schools where Abitur examinations were held, and a school can be absent from that list because its first Abitur cohort is still to come, because it runs the Studienstufe jointly with another school, or because it did not report its figures.
