I really love this place!!!! It's not a school, it's a home away form home!!! You are made to feel so welcome by the staff, they are always there to answer any questions you maight have, the children are versed in all areas, and the whole experience at Vollentine Is wonderful. Students enjoy going to school here, which I think is great. They look forward to coming each day. Everything about the school is a rewarding undertaking. I am so anxious to see what the school has to offer next.

About the tests

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.
