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.

Community is outgrowing the schools ability to meet the needs of diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds.

Teachers help with success and counseling necessary for grades and career path achievement. Administrators are great at keeping parents updated with information via phone, zoom and website. Diversity is great but it's unfortunate that many elite students that should go here are in private schools on scholarships. The academics could be better.

The best part of Ooltewah is the JROTC program. The instructors help you in every aspect of life and JROTC gives you a non-blood family. A few of my other teachers have helped me but a lot of my education has come from JROTC. They have given me skills that wasn't just for standard classes.
