Rock Quarry Elementary School provides instruction to 550 students in grades pre-K through five. A large percentage of these children represent families with different home languages. We have 43 staff members with 80% holding advanced degrees and 100% are fully certified in their area of teaching. RQES is a member of Powerful Conversations Network (PCN) provided through the Alabama Best Practice Center. We have a tremendous amount of parent participation at our school as demonstrated through an active PTA. We also have engaged school adopters and other various stakeholders.
