Rochester Elementary School 2-3 has been recognized as one of the Best Elementary Schools for 2025 by U.S. News & World Report. This acknowledgment highlights the efforts of the school's staff in fostering an environment where students are known, valued, and empowered to grow.

In other developments, Rochester Community Unit School District #3A is set to commence a significant construction project at Rochester High School. The groundbreaking ceremony for this $27.7 million initiative will take place on November 19 at 1 p.m. at the high school premises.

The project aims to create new learning environments, improve security measures for students and staff, and upgrade athletic facilities.
