Rio Norte is an school that excels at all levels. As parents, we are thrilled that our seventh grade daughter attends this wonderful school, and are excited about the prospects of our two younger children going there in the future. Rio Norte has a progressive block schedule, wherein students attend three classes per day for a longer period of time. The periods are scattered throughout the week, so over a given rotation, each class meets during blocks A, B, and C. Thus, every child attends Mediaeval History (7th grade) in the early morning, in the late morning, and in the afternoon. Ingenious! In addition, students are placed into teams, so the same pool of students shares the same cadre of teachers. This encourages personalization and essentially builds small schools within a larger campus, a great attribute for all schools. Finally, and most importantly, the teachers are dedicated, industrious, and caring!

After going to a private school for all of my elementary years, I was apprehensive about coming to Rio Norte and entering the public school system. But after the first few days there I knew I would enjoy both of my years there immensely. I am so ecstatic about being able to go here for the past two years and as a student, I feel ready for the pressure of high school. I am surely going to miss Rio Norte. It has been a great place for me.
