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.

At stem school of Chattanooga it is very open. And by open, I mean that the walls do not actually connect to the ceiling at all in the main area for ninth and 10th graders. Of course, a lot of things are very well thought out when it comes to The school like how every class is usually a honors class meaning that your GPA is a lot higher. The only reason why safety is so low is because recently we just had a lockdown and it was an absolute mess and nightmare.

Stem is a magnet school and spots are very limited. Stem has a very enriching environment with many opportunities to develop comprehension over engineering and communication.

STEM is an excellent school. It uses a unique teaching style to ready students for doing things on their own. In addition, beginning as sophomores, students have the opportunity to take certain college classes. All juniors and seniors take multiple college classes on Chattanooga State Community College's campus.

For the 2015-2016 school year I have been extremely pleased with STEM school. The principal and staff members actually want their students to succeed. The class sizes are small, students take ownership of their work and other responsibilities, and the environment is exactly what I wanted for my son.
