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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Signal Mountain Middle High School felt like more a prison than a school. The administration and a handful of teachers have some sort of god complex and made life at this school miserable. Everyone gets punished here, whether you're a good student or a bad student.

This school so far has been good. Teachers are decent some are harsh but you just have to deal with it. Education is top notch and students here are very advanced. Great programs if you want to excel and take advanced classes. They have so far prepared me for a lot of things in my life. I think the bathrooms could be cleaner but what do you expect at a high school? The art department is amazing. The theater performances are always top-notch. The band program is also really good and I enjoy being a part of the marching band and color guard. The other sports and clubs are amazing. Most kids are involved in some way in a sports activity. The diversity is slim. The lunch food is sub-par sometimes it is good sometimes it is bad. Lunch ladies and staff are all nice and sweet. The guidance counselors are helpful and can fix your needs. The school has a lot of spirit. Sometimes kids can be rude and bully you just tell an adult about it. Find the right crowd and enjoy your time at signal mtn

This area is a safe area but woke has hit this school as well. Counselors and advisors are very subjective about including parents. If your child has emotional issues, then currently, you will often be left out of meetings/discussions, advising your child. I know from experience. If the student is w...
Very nice community! The teachers are very helpful, and I have learned more here than other schools with a heavier work load. It is a wonderful school.
