Summary:

Zip code 61284 has three schools in Rockridge CUSD 300, serving kindergarten through grade 12: Taylor Ridge Elementary School (K–2, 138 students), Rockridge Junior High School (grades 6–8, 234 students), and Rockridge High School (grades 9–12, 330 students)—702 students altogether. Chronic absenteeism is below the state rate at all three schools, ranging from 8% at the elementary school to 18% at the high school, compared with 24% statewide. The most important academic concern is that high-school grade 11 ACT science proficiency was 22 points below the state rate.

Standout results depend on the grade and subject. The high school was above the state in all three reported math comparisons in 2025–2026: by 5 points on grade 11 ACT, 9 points on grade 10 PreACT Secure, and 2 points on grade 9 PreACT Secure. The junior high’s strongest results were grade 8 math and science, respectively 12 and 11 points above state rates. By contrast, its grade 6 math result was 10 points below the state, and the high school’s grade 11 ACT science result was 22 points below. The high school’s graduation rate was 95%, 5 points above the state. Taylor Ridge had the lowest absenteeism, at 8%, versus 13% at the junior high and 18% at the high school.

Recent results show improvement in some areas and sharp declines in others: junior-high all-grade ELA rose 8 percentage points and math rose 6, while grade 8 science rose 10. At the high school, ACT science fell 14 points and grade 9 PreACT science fell 23; ACT ELA and math each rose about 5 points. SchoolDigger’s rankings also fell from the 74th to the 62nd percentile for the high school and from the 65th to the 52nd for the junior high between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026. Student-teacher ratios range from 12.8 to 14.1. Free/reduced lunch eligible rates in 2024–2025 were 21% at the high school, 22% at the junior high, and 23% at the elementary school; these are context, not an explanation for results. The elementary school has no supplied test scores, and results vary by grade and subject.
