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:
• Career aspirations begin in Middle School
• STEM training teaches problem-solving

• STEM Education facilitates innovation

Rockford High School IB School (9-12) infuses a core curriculum with a world focus
that can help young people understand their role as responsible world citizens. Benefits of IB Instruction:

Yes we teach, but what we also do is build trusting relationships with our students. It's actually at the core of what we do because if students feel like someone cares enough to ask them about their life, listen to their stories and go the extra mile for them, they continue to show up. What we need more than anything is for our students to show up, find their GRIT and engage in their learning.
