What is UnifiEd's Public School Guide?
UnifiEd’s Public School Guide provides students, parents, teachers, and community members with information about each public school in Hamilton County. Each report card provides up-to-date information on student body make-up, achievement data, per-pupil spending, course offerings, and contact information for local representatives in each district.
We’ve spent over 2 years putting the videos together for the Public School Guide, so we wanted to take a quick moment to introduce them with this video!

What We Looked For

Academic Achievement Each Guide provides information on student academic achievement and growth over time. It includes information on Reading and Math proficiency, TVAAS scores, high school graduation rates, and college/career readiness rates based on ACT benchmarks. |
|
Class Offerings Public schools across the county provide different opportunities for their students. This section will provide information on AP course offerings, International Baccalaureate options, JROTC programs, and Exceptional Education offerings for students with special needs. |
|
Contact Information Each Guide provides contact information for the public school, district’s board member and county commissioner so you can keep in touch and let them know what you want to see in our Hamilton County public schools. |
