As a recent alumni of this campus, I would personally not recommend this school to anyone. Firstly, the education in this establishment is exceedingly dull, and the teachers do little to make the subject fun and enjoyable for the students. There are some exceptions to this of course, but most of the teachers lack the ability to teach their students effectively. Also, the safety in this school is horrible; I have been threatened many times by other students, and the teachers do little to combat this issue. Most of the students—as I've touched on before—are violent and rude to their peers and their teachers; It's like they do everything in their path to make everyone else's life a living hell. The teachers' way of combating this issue is also ineffective, and only the teaches the insubordinate child to rebel further; the safety is truly laughable in this establishment. The school also does little to include family engagement in children's learning. Please parents, If you have another option, do not enroll your child here.Best Wishes— Former 7A and 8D studentAs another former student of Rockvale, I would also not recommend this school to students If you're concerned about their safety.The students of this school are very violent, I've been harassed and threatened often with physical altercations in the bathroom.I've been confronted with students, with them often asking me if I wanted to fight them in the bathroom.Cameras in the bathroom would be an unnecessary precaution to take, but security at the front of the entrance would be nice, coming from someone who's been attacked.From my personal experiences, verbal abuse and bullying is not handled well by teachers or staff. I've confronted adults concerning the matter multiple times, and the teachers never did or could do anything concerning the matter. When confronting Rockvale staff, they were often dismissive with my troubles with other students; they never did much to restrain them. I understand that adolescents can be very harsh and brash, especially with other students, but there needs to be some serious checks and balances when considering bullying and abuse.I've encountered students vaping in the bathrooms, and classrooms, and the teachers never did anything to stop the students. The punishments aren't enough to stop these students from returning to the same actions.Regards— Former 7C and 8D Student

One of my daughters is Autistic and has an IEP. Natalie Adcock is the SPED resource teacher and is amazing. My daughter's growth has really flourished and her IEP goals are well on their way to being met by the end of the school year.My other child is gifted and the teachers do their best at challenging her. Murfreesboro in general doesn't have a great program for student who excel until the junior high or high school level. This needs to be addressed district wide, but Salem teachers are really keeping her engaged.
