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.

The entire community of Rochester is top notch. It is clear that the education of our children is top priority in our town. The schools provide a very quality education that is well rounded with academics as well as strong theatre arts and sports. Way to go Rockets!!
