District Snapshot:

• RAS District Video made in 2021: Welcome to Rockford Area Schools.
• This beautiful community is just west of the Twin Cities – straddling the Crow River in Western Hennepin and Eastern Wright Counties
• The unique locale of the District offers its residents “the best of both worlds”. It is neither suburban nor rural – but rather a small community adjacent to the suburbs and just 30 minutes from the heart of downtown Minneapolis.
• The District serves 1,640 students and employs 110 licensed staff members in one high school (Gr. 9-12), one middle school (Gr. 5-8), and one elementary school (Gr. K-4)
• All schools have magnet programs: The Elementary serves as an Arts Magnet, The Middle School is a STEM Magnet with a focus on environmental education and The High School is an International Baccalaureate School with MYP, DP, and CP pathways. All schools are supported as a part of the NorthWest Suburban Integration School District collaborative
• The majority of our students participate in numerous and varied extra-curricular activities, including boys and girls athletics, through participation in the Wright County Conference and The Minnesota State High School League as well as a renowned vocal/instrumental music program
• Rockford Middle School has been named a National Green Ribbon School for its environmental efforts
• The community provides excellent additional support for its students, their schools and their activities each year. Groups such as ISD 883 Dollars for Scholars, Rockford ISD 883 Education Foundation, the Rocket Boosters and Music Partners provide invaluable assistance
• Teachers are represented by Education Minnesota in collective bargaining
