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 time at Rock Bridge High School has been both enjoyable and rewarding. I have made friends that I will continue on with at college, learned a lot, and prepared for college. I don't really have anything I would change, other than maybe better utilization of the planetarium.

Most Rock Bridge students complete Algebra I in middle school. Therefore the only students taking Algebra I at R...
