From the Chief Academic Officer

We are committed to improving educational outcomes for our scholars by working collaboratively with students, parents, RCSD staff, and the community to purposefully design and effectively implement innovative programs and ensure equitable access to high quality academic programming district-wide. 

The Rochester City School District’s Course Catalog serves as a source to inform and assist students, parents, and staff with engaging in conversations and making important decisions about courses scholars will take during the school year. The Course Catalog provides diverse offerings that will propel our students to the next level of success.  In choosing courses, scholars and families work collaboratively with teachers and school counselors to select classes and a graduation plan that will satisfy graduation requirements and allow exploration and preparation for each child's post-secondary goals. 

A variety of courses are available along with sequencing charts to assist scholars and families with charting the next steps toward success. There are also many opportunities available to earn college credits via advanced placement, International Baccalaureate, and dual credit enrollment courses.

As the world continues to change and evolve, we are committed to helping our scholars exceed expectations. We are committed to fostering our students’ individual talents and abilities in a nurturing environment of excellence, ensuring students have equitable access to high-quality education and graduate as productive members of society.
