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.

We love Hixson Middle! The whole school welcomed us in and loved us as if we had been in this school for forever. My daughter has had a much better experience here than she did in elementary school. We love the diverse student and teacher bodies and couldn't have picked a better place for her to go!
