RUDD ROCKFORD MARBLE ROCK COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT Paraprofessional Aide in Rockford, Iowa
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | The Rudd-Rockford-Marble Rock Consolidated School District was | | established in 1959 as part of the initial wave of school | | consolidation in the state of Iowa. At that time, the school | | consisted of four buildings in three communities. The high school was | | located in Rockford on the current school site, and a separate | | elementary was located near downtown. Both Rudd and Marble Rock | | maintained their own elementary and junior high buildings. Class | | sizes of nearly 100 students were common as the baby boom generation | | moved through school in the 1970s and early 1980s. This configuration | | was starkly altered in 1989 when the high school was destroyed in a | | winter fire. That tragedy brought about unexpected benefits as it | | prompted the district to construct a single site, K-12 school, which | | started classes in the fall of 1992. By having a single physical | | plant, the district created staffing efficiencies that allowed the | | school to avoid confronting the painful decisions of many small | | districts concerning closure of buildings and further consolidation | | for the last twenty-three years. RRMR class sizes range between 25-35 | | students per class. | | | | RRMR has a proud tradition of educational excellence and prominent | | graduates. Notable Rockford graduates include: Bridges of Madison | | County author, Robert Waller, Saving Private Ryan actor, Jeremy | | Davies, and highly decorated Navy SEAL, Jon Tumilson, who was part of | | Seal Team 6 and lost his life when his helicopter crashed in | | Afghanistan. His services were held in the school gym. The community, | | staff, and student body of RRMR are very proud of its academic | | excellence and the success of its students when they go out into the | | world. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
