"THE" classic university-level text on rocket science
Now evolved through many expanded editions, Sutton remains a top-flight all-around general-purpose overview of rocket propulsion. Covers the spectrum from solid and liquid propellant motors through advanced nuclear and ion-drive engines. Plenty of formulae and algebraic equations with detailed explanations of the science and engineering involved in the design, development, production, and testing of rocket engines. Since the text is very comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics, you'll want and need other books to complement this one before you start designing your own rocket, but this is as good a place to start as you can find. Probably a bit advanced for most high school level students, but a valuable reference for any serious science shelf. Too bad it's so pricey.

Best, most complete and detailed how-to book anywhere
A new book, loaded with drawings, plans, formulae, and how-to-do it details.
This thick, heavy text tells and shows everything you need to know to safely build successful small solid propellant rocket engines. Covers in great detail the art, craft, and science of making black powder rockets that fly fast and high.
No other single book covers the subject as well, as accurately, and as completely as this one. Well worth the price (and it remains our own "best seller").
