I believe that small school equals big opportunity. With an average class size of 11 and a faculty / student ratio of 1:6, students at The Rock School receive the individualized attention that fosters real learning. Students have wonderful opportunities to explore academics, athletics, the arts, and leadership in ways that are often only available to the most elite at larger schools.
Yet, as a small school, we're still producing big results.
For example, each year we continue to do our part to grow
the Gator Nation. With a 87% acceptance rate among our seniors
applying to UF as freshmen since 2000, and more importantly,
the success they are having once they get there, we are proud
of the quality of programs we offer at The Rock School. I
invite you to read our school profile for further evidence
and I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you more
about how we can help meet your child's educational goals.
