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.

I liked how the teachers were close with the students and were often nice. I did not like how old fashion it was with dress codes and I also didn't like how some teachers were a little to friendly

The school doesn't make any efforts to help any of the sophomores and freshman with scholarship opportunities. The funds go straight to the sports and not to help for the kids academically.

I liked how the teachers are willing to help you. But the administration has favorites. And the school board is trying to change it as of right now.

My kids have gone to Rockdale for about 6 years. This school has problems. Don't get me wrong there are some good people that teach here but the athletic department needs a lot of improvement. They expect the kids to already know how to play the sports that they want to play. They do not want to tea...
