Rockford Public Schools is one of the largest school districts in Illinois, educating approximately 27,700 students through early childhood and preschool programs all the way through high school and adult education programs. There are 41 schools in the district. Those who live in or are planning to move to the Rockford area can use our school zone locator to determine the assigned school zone. With approximately 4,071 employees, the school district is also the second-largest employer in the region. Our teachers are our No. 1 resource to support our students. It’s not the fancy curriculum, state-of-the art technology or the latest innovative teaching tool – although we have all that, too. Students love their teachers, and we know our teachers love their students. RPS 205 teachers are the best of the best. Every year our teaching staff wins Golden Apple Awards for excellence in education, presents at national conferences and attends professional development to continue to improve their craft. That’s because we invest in our staff. Teachers have opportunities for leadership, growth and responsibility without leaving the classroom or losing their connection with students.

The mission of Rockford Public Schools is to collaboratively engage all students in a world class education. Our Vision: Be the first choice for ALL families Our Values: Character, Communication, Continuous Improvement, Collaboration
