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.

Hello, after attending Rome high school I would like to say I felt very at home. Rome had its flaws -just like any other school- and it also has cons. I can definitely say that the good outweighs the bad. Faculty could make school a bit more stressful than it should be which is not really what you want walking into a place you're practically forced to be. So, I would say if anything should improve it would be some of our staff. Administrators should uplift, motivate, and teach students in a manner that makes children want to be there.

Strong emphasis on academics, many AP offerings for juniors and seniors. The arts program is also strong with chorus, band, and theater involving a large percentage of the student body.
