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.

Many of the teachers are wonderful people, but the auditorium ceiling did collapse due to water damage that the school was well aware of.

I have had some issues at Roane County High. When I say this I mean with other students , this in particular is about my race. But also I have felt that some of the work at the high school is easy and sometimes too easy. I'm always looking for a challenge.

I like the gym of the school. The floors and walls are falling apart more and more everyday. The school is technologically extremely poor compared to other schools. The teachers and staff is also very hit or miss.
