Dr. Bessie Rhodes Magnet School was founded in 1995 as Timber Ridge Magnet School. Our school’s name was changed to honor our first principal, Dr. Bessie Rhodes. We are a kindergarten through eighth grade school, drawing students from the entire District 65 attendance area. One reason magnet schools have been established is to help achieve optimal classroom size throughout the district. Rhodes provides a maximum of two classes per grade, a total of 18 homerooms. Kindergarten through fifth grade classes are self-contained, with most instruction provided by the homeroom teacher. The subjects of Fine Arts, Computer, Library, and Physical Education are taught by additional faculty, referred to as “Specials.” The upper-grade students (sixth through eighth) move among the classrooms for math instruction and other subjects. In addition to the Specials previously listed, the upper- grade students are instructed in an Art Tech Program twice per week focusing on art through technology.
