This used to be a good school district. This district is "small town" thinking. They allow discrimination, and bullying starting with administration, which allows the students to follow in their footsteps. The board supports the superintendent and will not listen to parents and students, so there is no balance or accountability. Do not move here if you are looking for a good school district, especially if your student has a IEP or 504 because it will not be followed.

Sending two kids through Rochester. It is a small town school with small town mentality. Lots of nepotism. Many teachers were students at Rochester, most have college from same universities. No place for creative kids. Homework every night. Lots of bullying. Can't wait for them to graduate out of there.

I went to Rochester High School and received an excellent education and currently have been a parent with the school district for 3 years now.

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!!

Rochester has the highest bullying rate of any school district in the area. There are times teachers encourage this form of behavior. It's unfortunate because academics will outlive the sports.
