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 rockmart high school I have had the best learning experience. Not only academic wise but values of life itself and dealing with different cultures and people of different characters. This experience of high school has helped me learn that the future is something I look forward to after graduating.

My experience at Rockmart high school was not the best. The students there were not respectful and we were very rude towards each other. At Rockmart high school there was a lot of favoritism and racism. Not all students were treated equally as they say they are. MANY of the workers there did not do the jobs correctly which resulted in many students missing opportunities that they need to be successful

I would describe Rockmart Highschool as a work in progress. The education isn't the worst the state has to offer but you could definitely receive better opportunities at any other surrounding school. The current faculty is working to make improvements but it's taking time. While I will not be able to take advantage of these improvements future groups of students coming in within the next 5 years will flourish because of it.

RUN RUN RUN! You do NOT want to come to Polk County and definitely not Rockmart. This county is all about who knows who and who is related to who. Only students with parents that are connected to the school or community receive awards and recognitions. Many teachers are not even certified.

This school has serious issues with the professionalism with the staff and the students unless you are Rockmart itself. If you were to choose an area to live and let your kids go to a good school, then avoid Rockmart and Polk County AT ALL COSTS.

I have to say that I am glad that my child transferred out of Rockmart High School. The staff are unprofessional to the point where they don't know how to control themselves more than the kids. I know that schools have their problems, but this place, well, they have their "tradition." If you're not...
