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.

This school is fun, good academics and good school if you want to improve in sports and academics, teachers are nice and kind. Based on the school as a grade out of 100 ill give its between a 75/100 and a 78.5/100 because some things are good and somethings i dislike or whatever but ill say its a good school. i appreciate every teacher here and principles. all teachers work hard!

They are awful. If a student has a bullying situation the school does nothing until a parent gets involved or a situation reaches boiling point. Some of the teachers are good teachers, but the rest are rude and do not do their jobs. If your kid has to see a guidance counselor they do their job depending on the situation. If a kid cries in the cafeteria because of bullying the school will send your kid back to square one by going to guidance even though it did not work the first time. PARENTS BEWARE OF THIS SCHOOL. IT IS THE WRONG CHOICE.

As a parent of more that one student in attendance, I can firsthand advise against Rockvale Middle School. If you have a choice, this isn't the place for student engagement or competent leadership. The teachers are allowed to address students in derogatory tones and lead with fear tactics. It is poi...
