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.

I finished schooling with Rochelle in 2021. I started in Kindergarten and finished in 8th grade. I had a good experience with almost every teacher and rarely had any troubles there. I loved the arts classes offered there such as digital art, orchestra, guitar, and theatre. Overall, I'd recommend Rochelle to anyone looking for a K-8 school, but especially those interested in the arts.

My daughter has attended Rochelle since Kindergarten (now in 4th grade). Since Mrs. Ward has become the principal, I have seen nothing but improvement. There are always things that can be improved, but they are on the right track!!!
