Summary

Rockwood High School is a small public high school in Rockwood, Tennessee, serving 320 students in grades 9–12 as part of Roane County Schools. For the 2025–2026 school year, the school ranks 292nd out of 400 high schools statewide, placing it in the 27th percentile and making it the lowest-ranked of the three comprehensive high schools in the county, behind Midway High School and Roane County High School. What makes Rockwood stand out is its graduation rate: at 96.8%, it is the highest among nearby schools, surpassing the district average of 89.6% and the state average of 90.5%, and its dropout rate of 1.6% is among the lowest in the region. This is striking because the school also has a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.6%, well above the district rate of 15.9% and the state rate of 18.3%.

Academically, Rockwood lags behind state averages in nearly every subject. In 2025–2026, 14.7% of students scored proficient in Algebra I, compared to 32.3% statewide; English I proficiency was 19.4% versus 37.3% statewide; and U.S. History proficiency was 28.4% versus 42.4%. The one relative bright spot is English II, where 43.8% of students scored proficient, approaching the state average of 58.1%. There is also a notable math tracking gap: 10th graders taking Algebra II posted 72.7% proficiency, while 11th graders in the same course scored just 9.1%, suggesting stronger math students take the course earlier. By contrast, Midway High School and Roane County High School consistently score above state averages, making Rockwood an outlier within its own district.

Rockwood spends $14,933 per student, more than Roane County High School ($13,596), Stone Memorial High School ($11,262), and Central High School ($11,524), yet these additional resources have not translated into improved test scores. The school's state ranking has also declined over the past several years, from the 44th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 27th percentile today, and outcomes for low-income students and other vulnerable subgroups have dropped sharply. In short, Rockwood is highly effective at keeping students enrolled and on track to graduate, but it faces real challenges in academic proficiency and attendance that parents should consider when evaluating the school.
