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.

Rocky Top Middle School was great in their academics, mainly math and science. They have programs like MathCounts, and this is like the Olympics for students. The teachers were not too bad. They care about their student's education and push them to do well and prepare them for high school. The only downside is that they do not have sports or club sports.
