Rockford Public Schools (RPS) is dedicated to providing a first-class public education for Rockford families across its 42 schools. Our vision is built on the principle that when students feel connected to their schools, they perform at higher academic rates.

RPS offers a wide range of specialized educational opportunities, including Early Childhood Centers, Gifted Academies (such as Maria Montessori and STEAM programs), and College and Career Academy Pathways. We foster a supportive environment where students explore subjects, engage in the arts, and develop essential life skills. We prioritize professional development and community involvement, ensuring a comprehensive, high-quality experience for every student.
