A Tradition of Excellence, One Student at a Time Welcome to the official page for Rockford Area Schools! .

Rockford Area School District consists of three school buildings: an elementary school for grades kindergarten through four, a middle school for grades five through eight, and a high school serving grades nine through twelve. All of our schools are magnet schools. What is a Magnet School? A magnet school is a type of public school that has a particular curricular focus developed around a core set of five principles according to the Magnet Schools of America organization. These five pillars include the following things:
• Diversity
• Innovative Curriculum & Professional Development
• Academic Excellence
• High-Quality Instructional Systems
• Family and Community Partnerships

Rockford Elementary Arts Magnet Schools (K-4) instruction integrates content and skills from the areas of the arts of dance, drama, music, and visual art with core subjects. Benefits of Arts Instruction:
• Students learn using a creative, hands-on approach
• Students are able to demonstrate understanding through the arts
• Increased critical and creative thinking skills
• The arts develop a well-rounded student

Rockford Middle School Center for Environmental Studies (5-8) instruction integrates science, technology, engineering, and math with an environmental emphasis. Benefits of STEM Instruction:

Rockford High School IB School (9-12) infuses a core curriculum with a world focus
