Overall this is a pretty good school.I do feel,however,that some of the teachers should spend a little more time actually teaching the kids how to do assignments instead of just handing them out and letting them figure it out on their own.Middle school is a lot harder than Intermediate school,and if the kids aren't being taught correctly how to do assignments then they aren't actually learning all they need to know.They also have way too much homework in 6th grade Math,and sometimes don't understand it at all because they weren't taught how to do it.Isn't that the teacher's job,to teach??

This year, Tennessee introduced two new exams in algebra II and English III, and those results are included on the GreatSchools profile as well. The Gateway/EOC exams are standards-based tests that measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Tennessee. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
