General high-order rogue wave solutions for the (1+1)-dimensional Yajima-Oikawa (YO) system are derived by using Hirota's bilinear method and the KP-hierarchy reduction technique. These rogue wave solutions are presented in terms of determinants in which the elements are algebraic expressions. The dynamics of first and higher-order rogue wave are investigated in details for different values of the free parameters. It is shown that the fundamental (first-order) rogue waves can be classified into three different patterns: bright, intermediate and dark ones. The high-order rogue waves correspond to the superposition of fundamental rogue waves. Especially, compared with the nonlinear Schödinger equation, there exists an essential parameter α to control the pattern of rogue wave for both first-and high-order rogue waves since the YO system does not possess the Galilean invariance.
