School Overview

Westside Middle School stands out in Whitfield County with particularly strong English and science scores, making it a solid choice for families who value a well-rounded academic experience outside of the bustle of nearby Dalton. Rocky Face is a small, tight-knit community in the foothills of northwest Georgia, where the pace is slower and neighbors tend to know each other — the kind of place where a middle school can still feel like a genuine community hub. Families looking for a suburban-rural balance with access to the amenities of Dalton just a few minutes away will find Westside a comfortable fit.
