Fulfilling The RFISD Mission
 
The school's obligation to fulfill the mission begins at Live Oak Learning Center, a campus designed for the district's youngest children-early childhood. At Live Oak Learning Center, the curriculum and instruction focuses mainly on reading, writing, and mathematics through thematic units developed by the teaching staff. The school provides programs that lay the foundation for future academic achievement.
 
The kindergarten through second grade children attend Live Oak Learning Center and third through fifth grade children attend Fulton Elementary. Learning takes place with a curriculum centered around reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education and fine arts. The level of instruction is designed to exceed mastery of the Texas essential knowledge and skills.
 
Rockport-Fulton Middle School houses grades 6 and 8. The curriculum is taught through a teaming method which enhances teaching and learning. State assessment scores have continually risen over the past three years. Students in 8th grade have the opportunity to take classes for high school credit. The gifted and talented program has been expanded from language arts to include math and science courses.
 
Culmination of the learning process occurs at Rockport-Fulton High School, a 9-12 grade campus. The School offers a rich curriculum for students with diverse and varied interests. Students may choose to pursue career and technology pathways or advanced placement courses. Students are encouraged to participate in band, choir, drama, athletics, student government, UIL academic competition, and various local and national clubs. When RFHS students march across the stage on graduation night, Rockport-Fulton ISD in partnership with family, student, and community has fulfilled its mission.
