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.

My experience at Rome High School has been very unique. As a student-athlete, I am given the opportunity to excel in my sport. As an AP student, I am provided with the resources to succeed in my classes. Some not-so-great things are the fights at my school. I would like to see the students at my school become more mature.
