Welcome to Rolling Acres Edison Jr. Academy
 Welcome to Rolling Acres Edison Junior Academy website. Rolling Acres Edison Junior Academy is one of four schools in Peoria using the Edison Schools Design. The Edison Schools Design exposes students to a full comprehensive curriculum, based on best teaching practices. The core subject areas include a ninety-minute block in reading/language arts, history, science, and social studies. Spanish is included in the daily curriculum for students in grades 6-8. Students also have the opportunity to participate in physical education, art, music appreciation, chorus, math enrichment, band, orchestra, and technology classes. We pride ourselves at Rolling Acres Edison Junior Academy as being a community of learners, where failure is not an option. As you view our site, you will find that academic achievement and success for all students are very important elements of our school culture. As a team, in concert with our parents and students, many unreachable feats have been obtained. We understand we are still evolving as a professional learning community, yet our accomplishments and our focus on the “main thing” is ever present. Welcome to Rolling Acres Junior Academy, “Home of the “Best and the Brightest.”
