Music fills the halls of North Rockford Middle School as the symphonic band prepares for its next competition. With one of the best school bands in the district, North Rockford students attend festivals all over the state. The school spotlights creativity and provides quality education for sixth through eighth grade students of all abilities.

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.
