Summary

Rockwood High School is a public high school located in Rockwood, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 342 students. It is part of the Roane County School District, which is ranked 63 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rockwood High School consistently underperforms compared to the Roane County and Tennessee state averages on standardized tests like TNReady. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly lower proficiency rates than the county and state in subjects like Algebra I, Algebra II, and English I. Additionally, Rockwood High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 83.3% and 91.3% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average of around 90%, and its dropout rate has ranged from 1.4% to 8.1%, which is higher than the state's average of around 5%. The school also has a chronic absenteeism rate between 17.1% and 20.3%, significantly higher than the state average of around 15%.

While Rockwood High School performs well for its African American and foster care student populations, it struggles with its female, male, white, and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of the state. Interestingly, Rockwood High School's academic performance lags behind its neighboring schools, such as Midway High School and Roane County High School, which consistently outperform Rockwood on standardized tests and have higher graduation rates. Despite increased per-student spending at Rockwood High School, from $10,624 in 2020-2021 to $13,486 in 2023-2024, these additional resources have not translated into significant improvements in student outcomes.
