All-In Together Education
You should never have to compromise for your child to receive a well-rounded education. In partnership with you as a parent, we are committed to providing the best education possible while amplifying their potential – academically, behaviorally, socially, and academically.
Our Schools
Columbia Elementary
(Pre-K – 1st Grade)
At Columbia Elementary, we are deeply committed to investing in the whole child by putting student needs first and meeting them where they are – academically, behaviorally, socially, and emotionally.
We believe excellence in education starts with parent partnership from the start. Our teachers and staff partner with you and your child by providing excellent education along with a community that feels like a support system so your child can grow up to be a thriving adult.
Riddle Elementary
(2nd Grade – 4th Grade)
Our curriculum focuses on physical and emotional development, as well as social and cognitive skills.
Additionally, skills such as self-help and readiness are introduced to the students in a specific format that will best meet their needs, both as a group and individually.
Middle School
We know that middle school is a time of new challenges but also an opportunity to build character and achieve personal growth.
Through our extracurriculars, rigorous coursework, and varied programs, students explore their interests as they begin discovering their passions. Rochester Middle School is a place where kids find their way toward becoming young adults.
High School
High school, in many ways, is the launching point for the rest of a student’s life.
At Rochester Community High School, everything starts with opportunity.
Through various extracurricular activities, rigorous academic courses, career and technical education pathways, and a trades program that equips students for immediate post-secondary employment, our students have opportunities to discover their passions so that they are prepped and ready for whatever comes next.
