As a former student, now a freshman at Rockport High School, I think I can safely comment on this school now. Overall, my teachers were very unsatisfactory, with few exceptions, those being Mr. Bob Allia, Mrs. Mcwilliams, and Ms. Briana Riddel. Among the myriad of problems the school has is the tendency

Then, of course, when these students do get to high school, the teachers up there are stupefied as to why they didn't learn that bit of information in middle school.

Also, because my children span all three schools, I can now speak about the high school. Ms. Paquin has gone out of her way to ensure my highschoolers educational plan remains intact. Even hiring new highly qualified teachers to do so. It continues to be a pleasure parenting Rockport school district children. Read less

That school was the best. My daughter made so many friends there and the staff and the people who enroll there are very helpful.
