Rating 3.98 out of 5 40 reviews
My experience as a student of Rochester Public School District has been a positive enrichment. Being part of a school district that places the students and their needs first is essential for optimal learning.
Rochester Public School District provides a learning environment that supports each student with their individual requirements that is unique to each student. I am impressed with the variety of support services offered with qualified, caring and positive individuals.
One place I would like to see change involves the funding for classroom activities. I know some students have difficulty financially with extra supplies and materials. This barrier sets a tone within the classroom that divides students and could cause some to feel uncomfortable. Often times fundraisers are introduced and prizes for top sellers are awarded. I don’t feel it’s public information to share who couldn’t afford to buy in to the fund raiser. I feel uncomfortable for those left out.

The Rochester Public School District is definitely concerned with and prioritizes student academics. This is something I am thankful for, as I feel I have received a well rounded and advanced education. Still, I feel some recent changes have not been as beneficial. The grading for learning guidelines, while appearing to help prepare students for life after high school, leaves students presently anxious and worried about grades. College readiness is something every school district strives to improve, yet there is also something to be said about focusing on the present as well. Additionally, the Rochester Public School District does have a lot of great resources, but in my personal opinion, a lot of students don't know how to access them or put them to good use.
