To inspire each student to extraordinary achievement every day

At Rio Tierra, we are committed to helping students be successful in junior high so that they are empowered to make an impact on their own lives and in their community. Our staff forms meaningful relationships with students to support them through rigorous academic standards. Our dedicated teachers and staff demonstrate, guide, and engage your student(s) through the learning process using the curriculum aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). We use various assessment tools to know where our students are achieving and to guide our teachers’ daily instruction. We deeply value the trust you’ve placed in us to care for, protect, and educate your student. The staff and faculty members at Rio Tierra are committed to supporting your students’ growth and preparation for a successful high school experience.

 

Rio Tierra provides several opportunities for students to extend their learning before and after school with staff members. These co-curricular activities are the foundation of positive interaction and relationship building with staff members. When students get involved in an activity, team, or club at school, they envision school life with a more opportunistic approach.

 

Our athletics program provides a variety of opportunities, including volleyball, track and field, cross country, cheer, coed flag football, basketball, and soccer for both boys and girls.

 

Rio Tierra offers 7th and 8th grade Honors English Language Arts. We offer advanced second-year courses for Art, Entrepreneurship, Spanish, and Computer Science.
