School Districts

Is a local and national award-winning district. Rockwood students excel in their performance on state tests and continue to out-perform in comparison to state averages. In fact, more than 50 percent of Rockwood’s elementary students who took the Missouri Assessment Program scored at the Proficient or Advanced levels in Math, Communication Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Health & P.E. In 2002, Rockwood high school students’ ACT scores continued to exceed the state and national averages. A high-level of achievement is one of the reasons Rockwood is recognized for “Distinction in Performance” by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Statistics, however, are just one aspect of learning in our district. Some of the most important indicators of a school’s success cannot be measured. These successes include the hours spent by caring teachers carefully preparing individualized lessons, the life and social skills learned by students in the classroom and in extracurricular activities, and the dedication of parents and volunteers who give of their time to promote a quality learning environment. It is all these efforts that contribute to the quality of teaching in Rockwood and our students’ notable accomplishments.

The goal of our 2,800 employees continues to be a personalized education for our students within an innovative working environment. Our mission is to ensure that all students obtain the skills, abilities and attitudes necessary to be lifelong learners and productive citizens with integrity. Rockwood provides programs to meet the needs of all students. Modern classrooms are equipped with the latest technology. Separate campuses for gifted students, early childhood programs and alternative high school education add to this culture of achievement.

With enrollment of 21,800 students, Rockwood is the largest school system in St. Louis County. The Rockwood School District covers more than 150 square miles and serves distinct communities including all or parts of Ballwin, Chesterfield, Clarkson Valley, Ellisville, Eureka, Manchester, Wildwood and Winchester.
