is a village in Winnebago County, Illinois, a suburb of Rockford incorporated in 1965. The village is in a suburban area along the Rock River. It is part of the Rockford, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 6,244. Since then, the area has been undergoing a period of rapid growth, with Census Bureau workers in 2005 estimating that the population is now around 10,000. There have been numerous border disputes with its neighbor to the west, Rockton, Illinois and development and annexations continue by both villages. Recent growth has included the Promontory Ridge and Hidden Creek custom home subdivisions east of the Illinois Tollway, I-39/I-90.
David Krienke is the Village President, elected in April 2007 for a four year term. He is a former trustee of the Village and also served on board of Winnebago County, Illinois.
The five public schools in Roscoe are part of the Kinnikinnick School District. These are Ledgewood School (grades K-3), Stone Creek School (grades K-3), Kinnikinnick School (grades 4-5), and Roscoe Middle School (grades 6-8). There is no public high school in the village, so high school students attending a public school must attend Hononegah High School in the neighboring Rockton, Illinois, or to Harlem High School, in Machesney Park, IL. The school district is involved in a court action to use eminent domain to acquire land in Roscoe for a high school. Roscoe Middle School is the largest feeder school for Hononegah High School. The Prairie Hill Community Consolidated School District #133 also serves parts of Roscoe's north east area.
Parts of the southern areas are served by Harlem School District 12 . Rockford School District 205 serves the SE section of the village.
