GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Rootstown since the 3rd grade has not been the best, I would not send my children here as an adult. It is overall not a good or beneficial environment for learning. Sports system is good but that is all that the school seems to care about.

The school board doesn't care about the students just their image. Events will be swept under the rug unless someone spills the beans.
