Welcome to the Dr. Bessie Rhodes Magnet School website.
 Our school serves families in the Evanston/Skokie CC School District 65. In 2010 Dr. Bessie Rhodes Magnet School ranked ranked 49th of the top 100 Illinois middle schools, and our elementary school ranked 156 of the top 200 elementary schools in a Sun Times poll. This is not the first time the school has ranked among the top schools in the state. The school building was originallly built in the late
1950's as an elementary school. In 1995 the building was reopened as the Timber Ridge Magnet School. In 2005, it was renamed after beloved principal Dr. Bessie Rhodes.The school is K-8 school, with 2 classes of approximately 20 students in each class, allowing for the feel of a small school environment.
We provide a safe educational environment dedicated to developing the potential of each individual child, encouraging community awareness, and stressing the importance of academic excellence. Our school and the district offer programs and services to meet the district mission to educate each student to succeed in and contribute to our global community by cultivating creativity, compassion, and the pursuit of excellence. Academic learning is enhanced with thoughtful teaching, advanced technologies, fine arts, physical education, media library, safe online databases and reference materials, enrichment opportunities, and after-school clubs and activities.
