For the 2025–2026 school year, Rossview High School ranks #40 out of 400 Tennessee high schools, placing it in the top 10% statewide and earning a 5-star rating. The school has been highly consistent over the past decade, with its state rank ranging from a peak of #6 in 2016–2017 to a more recent range of #36–#42 over the last five years. This track record places Rossview among the top 10–12% of Tennessee high schools year after year.
Academically, Rossview outperforms both its district and the state in all seven core tested subjects. The largest advantages over the state are in U.S. History (+26.1 points), English I (+12.2), Biology I (+12.0), and English II (+11.9). The school's graduation rate has consistently exceeded district and state averages, reaching 93.2% in 2024–2025 compared to 90.5% statewide, while dropout rates run far below the state average. Rossview also compares favorably to nearby high schools, outranking Clarksville High School (#55), Northeast High School (#108), Northwest High School (#142), West Creek High School (#194), and Kenwood High School (#236). Interestingly, Kirkwood High School, located just 3.3 miles away, ranks #41 — essentially tied with Rossview — though Kirkwood is stronger in Biology and Geometry while Rossview leads in Algebra, U.S. History, and English. Middle College @ Austin Peay State University is ranked #1 statewide, but it's a small early-college program serving only grades 11–12, so it's not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Rossview is particularly effective with military-connected students, ranking #2 of 16 in 2024–2025 and #1 of 14 in 2023–2024. Low-income students have also shown major improvement, jumping from the 53rd–56th percentile to the 80th percentile in 2025–2026. The school's per-pupil spending of $11,682 is actually below some lower-performing peers like Kenwood High ($12,310), suggesting strong efficiency. One watch point is chronic absenteeism at 17.6% in 2024–2025, which is below the state average of 18.3% but above the district's 15.1%. Overall, Rossview High School is one of Tennessee's strongest comprehensive high schools — consistently ranked in the top 10% statewide, academically ahead of its district in every subject, and highly effective with a broad range of students.
