How to Get the Best Education in the Rock River Valley
One of the top priorities for families considering a new home is the state of the educational system in the area. The Rock River Valley area has many superior schools that offer students a variety of options for their education.
Over a dozen schools in the Rock River Valley area were named to the 2012 Illinois Honor Roll due to their outstanding scores on standardized tests. Three categories are features on the honor roll: Spotlight Schools, Academic Excellence, and Academic Improvement. Schools from the Rock River Valley were named to all three categories, demonstrating a regional commitment to high quality education for kids in all situations.
If you are moving to the area and want the best education for your children, look into the following schools that have shown their dedication to producing well-rounded and well-educated students.
Elementary School
Washington Gifted School is the top ranked elementary and middle school in the area. The public school offers high quality education without the exorbitant prices of private schools. Parents report that their children are being taught personal responsibility along with excellent academics. Kids also enjoy the many opportunities to get involved in sports and clubs.
Middle School
The most well-reviewed middle school of the area is Stephen Mack Middle School. A part of the Rockton School District, the public school is known for its dedicated administration, teachers, and support staff. The school encourages students to excel both academically and in extra-curricular activities.
High School
Hononegah Community High School is the well-respected public high school of the area. Passionate teachers hold students to a high academic standard. These teachers have even been asked to speak at conferences about the best ways to raise student achievement. Sports that enjoy popularity at the school include football, wrestling, volleyball, and swimming.
A helpful resource for parents who are researching the educational opportunities for their children in the area is the Rock River Valley Report Card. This table offers information on the academic achievements of all the area schools.
