I feel blessed to have my 2 children in Rockford's Spanish Immersion. I am not surprised the school scored 10th in the state. Hope this score underlines the value of a bilingual education for the naysayers in the district. Kudos to the teachers!!!! Close Quote

The school is great. Rockford should open another one. There are a lot of parents that want to get their kids into the school but there are only a handful of openings every year. There is enough demand to open a school that is only spanish immersion. The only complaint is that there is not bussing home from school. We pay such high taxes, we should at least be able to have our children bussed both ways. Close Quote
