Rhodes Elementary School hopes to inspire students from preschool through eighth grade to be lifelong learners and productive citizens. To set kids up for academic success, Rhodes provides various programs to ensure all students get the education that best suits them. There is an English Language Learners program to support multilingual learners, the Rhodes Enrichment program for Reading and Math to engage students with high IQs and standardized test scores, and more. The school implements the Rhodes Respect! program to provide students the tools and guidelines to cultivate a positive learning environment. The program encourages a sense of personal responsibility and positive decision-making among students. Rhodes Elementary is located near a large green space and playground. To the east of the school is Trumbull Park, one of River Grove’s public parks. The school is also near a main thoroughfare, making drop off and pickup easy. Organized sports are offered to students at Rhodes. Options include softball, soccer, basketball and volleyball. Parents working late hours can take advantage of the Rhodes Bobcats After School Activity Club, which provides students with enriching games and space to complete homework after hours.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
